    Iraqi Kurdistan: Festival Planned to Increase Genocide Awareness


    Preparations for a Kurdish culture festival are underway in Georgia in
    a bid to raise awareness on the Kurdish genocide and to draw links
    between it and the Armenian genocide.

    Below is an article published by AKnews:

    Badrkhan Publishers is organizing a Kurdish culture festival in
    Georgia for the end of this month to raise awareness of the Kurdish
    and Armenian genocides.

    Director of the publishers Hamid Badrkhan said: "In order to build a
    bridge between Kurds and world, we decided to hold a culture festival
    in Georgia on August 28 [2012]."

    Badrkhan said a collection of activities will be carried out under the
    name "Kurdistan towards a bright future", such as seminars, an art
    exhibition and parties.

    The director added: "Children and women are also participating in the
    event to show their work."

    Preparations for the festival are now complete. Forty Kurdish artists
    and intellectuals from the UK have confirmed their participation in
    the event.

    On June 14, 1988 the former Iraqi regime carried out a series of
    genocides under the name Anfal against the Kurdish people.
