Newroz Pîroz Bê

Happy New Year to all Kurdish Review writers and readers. I hope the New Year brings you and your loved ones nothing but good fortune and success.

In Kurdistan, Newroz has become a symbol of the struggle for liberation and a day to celebrate the freedoms one has and the freedoms one deserves and longs to achieve. In our old traditions, songs and folktales, it is believed that Newroz has been practiced in this respect for centuries with the liberations of various ancient kingdoms from Mitanni and Medya to the modern region as we know it today. Let's remember and celebrate Newroz for these very special meanings that go beyond that of a simple holiday.

Newroz Pîroz Bê... May your New Day be blessed until your old days...
