Petition

Target: Turkish Embassy

Background: The Kurdish people have been struggling for equality in Turkey for
the best part of 100 years now. The Kurds take great pride in their culture but
have had this culture constantly suppressed by the Turks. There was a ban on
the Kurdish language up until 1991 which was strictly enforced, with numerous
politicians and celebrities arrested for their use of the language.
Please sign below to show your support for Kurdish culture. This petition will be
presented to the Turkish embassy in Ireland with the hope of gaining better
recognition of language and culture in Turkey.
We, the undersigned, call upon the Turkish embassy
to recognise the Kurdish culture as an equal to that of
the other cultures in Turkey, AND to put pressure on
the Turkish government to give the Kurds cultural
equality.
