Kurdish culture has developed over thousends of years. Due to historical contacts the culture of the Kurds and some neighboring peoples of Mesopotamia and Iran shares some points. The quest for Social Justice and equity is regarded as an important Kurdish cultural trait. Respect for the elderly and hospitality for the foreigners are also integral part of the Kurdish Etiquette . The Kurdish/Iranic new year ( Newroz ) is celebrated on March 21, which is the first day of the month of Xakelêwe and coincidentally the first day of spring. Newroz has been nominated as one of the Masterpieces of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO in 2004. Kurdish Literature is rich and diverse, although many dialects and alphabets have been used in writing it. Kurdish Language has been unnoffical and has suffered many restrictions. Kurdish men and women also wear their traditional clothes. Kurds also have their own dance which is related to that of other peoples of Mesopotamia and greater Syria which is a grouped circle dance. Kurdish films mainly evoke poverty and the lack of rights of Kurdish people in the region. Perhaps Yilmaz Guney and Bahman Qubadi are among the best known Kurdish directors. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINK |
