‫سازمان مردمی کُرمانج‬ Sazimana Xelkî Kurmanj ‫سازمانی خه لکی کورمانج‬ Organisation of Kurmanj People 11 - Ghashghayi [(Qashqayi), (0.8%)] 12 - Others (1.5%) The demands of indigenous people and the ethnic minority/nationality groups in the region of North of Khorasan from the government of Iran is overlooked entirely and deliberately. Education and teaching in Kurdish - Kurmanji language is one of our cultural demands in the region of North Khorasan from the state administration of President Rouhani, although it was one of his promises in the presidential election campaign to the Iranian ethnic minority/nationality groups, But later on it found out that it was an electoral trick to cheat people to get peoples votes, which is a shame. Kurmanj youth in North Khorasan are under severe deprivation, discrimination and marginalisation which is not fair from one hand, and from the other hand this needs to be changed for peace and stability. For instance, as distinguish representative of Iran said himself in the morning at item 4 (item 4. Minority youth and the media in the digital age: acceptance and opportunity; 10:15 am to 13:00 pm, Friday 1st December 2017): Education in minorities languages in Iran is completely legal based on article 15 and 19 of Iran’s constitution law, and also the international conventions which has signed by state of Iran, But our legal demand remain unfulfilled on the ground practically, and is not attained in the universities, schools and institutions of North Khorasan region yet (Minister of Education, is direct responsible for this discrimination, injustice and human inequality). The article 15 needs to be respected and implemented in our region, North Khorasan. There is no any plan about Kurdish - Kurmanji language in the universities of North Khorasan neither to get student to begin study for academic degrees (Bachelor and Master degrees in Kurmanji language) in this field and nor to train academic staff and teachers for Kurdish - Kurmanji language in the region. This situation and unhealthy mentality must be changed and education in our native mother language to be started in our region as soon as possible. There was a demanding letter to the local authority for opening Kurmanji courses in the University of Mashhad and the University of Bojnurd, but they have been arrested on June 2017 and were under intensifying security measures, threatening, oppressing and harassing them physically and psychologically. The activists of Kurdish-Kurmanji language and culture in our region, North Khorasan, are under huge pressures just because they want their basic right according to the article 15 of Iran’s constitution. This legal article needs to be respected and implemented in our region, North Khorasan. www.kurmanj.org info@kurmanj.org Tel: + 44 (0) 79692 71697, Fax: + 44 (0) 2076919328
