Kurds attending "Persian feast"

"I have to say that the Kurdish booth was the most exciting since there were so many Kurds there with their costumes on and teaching people the steps in their dances".

No... I consider this STUPIDITY...

If the name was "Iranian Autumn Festival" - It would have been "okey" - since "Iranian" = Somebody from Iran technically speaking. So that wouldn't look bad: Kurds teaching people how to dance in Iranian festival... Because there are Iranian Kurds (Eastern Kurds) - so that would make sense...

But here it says "Persian Autumn Festival" - and it says "people from all the provinces of Iran where there - and ALL THE TRIBES" - what the f**k???? Kurdish is suddenly one of "the TRIBES"? Hahaha

I disagree... And I also agree...

But I think Kurdish culture in Eastern Kurdistan is strong - and resists Persian influence a lot... Especially essential Kurdish matters...

The problem is however evident in Northern Kurdistan - where women more than men talk in Turkish when they gather - and where in cities Kurdish youth doesn't see the "point" of learning their language...
