KurdishGlobe- The expectation and the right in the mother tongue
Recently, the Turkish state took a decision to designate Kurdish language as an elective course, as part of their drive to rekindle the stagnated "Kurdish Opening". This decision will implement in coordination with the Institute of Living Languages at Mardin Artuklu University.
The Kurdish Globe was able to interview Professor Dr. Kadri Yildirim, the Director of the Institute of Living Languages. He is a professor of Arabic literature and language, whose research has specialized in the works of Kurdish classic literature. In addition, he has considerable works in the Kurdish and Turkish languages in relation to Ahmad-i Khani.
Globe: How long are your ongoing efforts in relation to the Kurdish language at the University of Mardin Artuklu? Would you give us information about the level of studies?
