A group of people, mostly the children of wealthy landowners and poor students, got together to protect Kurdish culture and prevent it from being assimilated. They were part of the leftist movement in universities in the 90s and are still working to protect Kurdish culture today. Unfortunately, there is a sad side to this story, but it is not something we want to talk about right now.
