The Association of Martyrs’ Families (KOMAW) is organizing the Kurdish Culture Festival in Dortmund, Germany, on September 5th. This event aims to celebrate and preserve Kurdish culture while promoting values of peace, democracy, and coexistence.
KOMAW emphasized the significance of the festival as a platform for the Kurdish community to voice their commitment to peace, demonstrating a desire to prevent further suffering and war. They advocated for a future driven by democratic solutions instead of conflict, referring to Abdullah Öcalan’s peace initiatives as pivotal for the region’s stability.
KOMAW hopes the festival will embody messages of dialogue, fraternity, and solidarity, calling upon families of the fallen, supporters of Kurdish values, and civil society to attend. The festival is envisioned not just as a cultural celebration but also as a collective stand for peace and democracy, reinforcing the notion that keeping Kurdish heritage alive strengthens the culture of peace.
In conclusion, KOMAW urges the community to come together in Dortmund to honor those who have sacrificed for this cause and to promote a hopeful vision for a free, democratic future.
