Where are the Kurdish videos ?

Simple answer:

Kurds make videos for other Kurds so nobody else ever sees them - or would ever want to see them

Wait so you want kurds to become more familiar or do you want kurds to promote their interests?

Wait so you want kurds to become more familiar or do you want kurds to promote their interests?

Either or both

Every time there is an excellent opportunity for the NK Kurds to promote themselves - their so-called leaders wait until the opportunity passes - please see my post:

Do YOU think Kurds in Northern Kurdistan need new leaders YES or NO ?

Take for an example the video; Gangnam Style

It went viral - it went worldwide - everyone made parodies - most of them fantastic or funny

Have you looked at the Kurdish ones

Half the MPs in Britain do NOT know who Kurds are

The only reason that the other half know much about Kurds is due solely to a lovely lady names Estella - she devotes her ENTIRE LIFE to increasing political awareness of the Kurdish plight at the HIGHEST LEVELS in the British political arena

Kurds need to promote themselves - or rather they desperately need NEW leaders who will

Karayilan is brilliant - he should be acknowledged as being the head of the PKK in all it's forms - Karayilan should be a politician - hopefully one day he will be the leader of an Independent Northern Kurdistan.

Where were the KURDS ?

PLEASE post YOUR ideas on how to market Kurds

With all the fighting and conflicts throughout the world - Kurds need to find ways to publicise their cause - show the world why they above all other peoples deserve international reconnection and support

English marketing saying:

Early to bed - early to rise - does you no good if you don't advertise

Sorry but Kurds holding protest marches in Kurdish areas is preaching to the converted - Kurds need protests to take place in NON-KURDISH locations

When Ocalan was arrested many protests took place worldwide - Kurds were noticed but mostly failed to keep up the momentum

The sit-down outside the Greek embassy in London received worldwide coverage

[Anthea]

I am still asking for ways in which to publicise the plight of Kurds and obtain support for them

Sadly I have not been inundated with ideas - some people on here are all to ready to insult and criticise others - let us see some of them coming up with:

PRACTICAL CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS

NOT 1 CONSTRUCTIVE IDEA

We need a SWOT analysis

Leading to an Action Plan

Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail

The organisational ability of the Kurds in the North is akin to the Hydra on acid

Kurds desperately need re-marketing

No more Marxist ideology

Stop referring to what will hopefully one day be the Army of an Independent Northern Kurdistan as guerrillas and refer to them as FREEDOM FIGHTERS
