Quoting AlphaF: Quoting azade: Quoting AlphaF:
There are no contradictions in nature azade.
If you think you stumbled upon one and are surprised, you should check your initial assumptions - one or more of the assumptions must be wrong. |
But you must admit it's unusual for a nationalist to appreciate any kurdish music. At least you're the first I've ever stumbled upon.
Kudos  |
Because you have been wrongly brainwashed to assume that nationalism and racism are identical....while one means loving one's nation, the other means loving one's etnic identity. |
Someone can love one's nation in a positive way, but I call that yurtsever, as opposed to milliyetçi which I find damaging because of what it has done in Turkey and partly in my own native country as well, among others.

So I think it is about Diyar, there's a small piece here: http://hevallo.blogspot.com/2007/08/famous-kurdish-singer-detained-upon.html but it's not elaborate, anyone have more information on it?
