There were 2 conferences : on 29/11 one about the ME and democratization in general and the Kurdish Question and the second, today, on Western Kurds. I suppose that some texts of the first conference will be soonly on line.
Bernard Dorin is a nice guy, an old diplomat, very "école française". He has made a conference in the Institute to present his book, and he has explained why he was so fond of Kurds :

There was Jonathan Randall too, and he was there for Western Kurdistan today.
I think that the second was more important, for Southern and Northern Kurds have made a lot of conference in National Assembly with the Institute. But it was the first time that Western Kurds were the main topic of a conference, and it allowed to Arab and Kurdish opposition in Syria to meet each other, it is easier there than in Damascus ! Some politician Kurds never went in Europe before, I know some of them, it was great to see them here.
