Annual exhibition of members of the Association of Visual Arts Artists of Northern Greece at Casa Bıanca

The Kurds have a saying: "Whoever's house burns, he hurts the most." Thus the Kurds, deprived of international support, have so far failed to create their own independent state and in this way ensure the duration of their existence as a nation in the future. In their struggle, they suffered genocide many times, by the four states that Kurdistan is under their occupation, even with chemical weapons!

The pain is universal, I hope no one hurts!

I hope that the Kurds will be vindicated and that this nightmare of almost 200 years will end!
