MÎR ZERDEKHENO* (1934) KÎ YE?
*) ZERDECHENO - qelpezanekî navnetewî yê mazin bûye û navê Mîrê Kurdistanê li xwe kiriye. Lêbelê ev qelpezaniya wî ji hêla nivîsevana fînlandî Maria-Jotoni (1880-1943) hatiye aþkerekirin.
Li vir xaleke grîng heye ku ev e: Gava Amerîka vî mîrê qelpezan dersînor dike, Mîrê Qelpezan Kakelo dibêje: 'ne xem e, ez ê vegerim welatê xwe Kurdistanê nav xelkê xwe ku 18 milyon in û nuha li dijî tirkan þer dikin'.
Bi rastî jî li wê demê, sala 1925ê li navbera kurd û tirkan þer hebû. Lê belê xala grîng jî ev e; ku heger 90 sal berê behsa 18 mýlyon kurd dihat kirin, nexwe î roj serhejimara þêniyê kurdan li ser 100 milyonan e. Kurd ku kêmtirê pênc zarokan nahênin, nuha gerek e kêmanî sed milyon bin.
