The Kurdish Language Platform (Platforma Zimanê Kurdî) made a statement at the Association of Southeastern Journalists in Amed (Diyarbakır) regarding the 2024-2025 school year. The meeting was attended by political party executives and representatives of civil society organisations in the city.

Speaking here, Kurdish Language Platform Spokesperson Şerefxan Cizîrî said, “Kurdish children in Northern Kurdistan will not be given Kurdish education. Our children will again face a challenging assimilation process. This is a very cruel, difficult and inhuman event. It is not accepted in any religion and belief. This attitude is not in accordance with children's rights, pedagogy and pedagogical realities.”

Cizîrî stated that the official ideology in Turkey has always put obstacles in front of Kurdish education and pointed out that Turkish was imposed on Kurdish children in schools through filtered methods. He added: “The right to education in Kurdish must be recognised. The denial and assimilation of Kurdish identity must end.”

Addressing MPs, politicians, intellectuals, writers and the public, Cizîrî said, “Everyone should speak, write, think and live in Kurdish. Together we will proudly repeat: We are Kurds, our language is Kurdish, our country is Kurdistan.”
