  1. hello gurgin,
    another informatie article of yours!
    Your new article about Yezidis remind me on my lecture I had about Yezidis last year. My class was quite impressed by this strange religion they never heard about before. I told them that this religion only exists by the Kurds, and that we have to save it for the future.

    Sure, the Yzidis need a kind of reformation because they still have backward sides...for example nobody is allowed to convert into Yezidizm...or a Yezidi person must marry with a Yezidi....or the honour killing that is known especially by hte Yezidis.


    But I think this religion deserves a second chance...I wish all the best for our Yezidis and all Kurds.

    We live for a better future.
    Greets, Ferrus

    Thank you, I wish you could speak Swedish because I recorded a 2 hour lecture about the Yezidi Kurds in southern Kurdistan and in Armenia in Stockholm at the Kurdish Library.
