They look young but very ambitious, one can clearly see how well they can convey their messsage of peace and freedom. I was listening to VOA Persian, and I saw Mr. barezani's son speaking a beautiful Persian, he was so good looking :) He was talking about what the Kurds of Iraq wanted, integrity, but not detachment from the rest of Iraq. he talked about Iran enthusiastically, he had studied in iranian univesities too and he recalled that he did not find himself a refugee in Iran. This made me feel so good as an Iranian, because we have Kurdistan too. That is how i wish each and every memeber of our middle Eastern countries feel in another country, because almost in every country we have the members of other countries , working, married, studying, doing bussiness, travelling, there on pilgrimage. Mabe i should start learning Kurdish as well :) " Chabkem Cha beijam, cham dasalateh, la dori balat, khamam khalate" , I am not sure what exactly it means, but a girl from mariwan, a Kurdish town of Iran by the border taught me this :) This is for Siwan :) G-d bless the Kurdish nation :) Hi dear Esra’a
