Campaign to speak Kurdish in Bitlis

DEHAP Bitlis Provincial Secretary Vedat Yamac, providing information on the meeting, stated that certain decisions had been taken at the meeting. Yamac spoke as follows:
We took a series of decisions at the meeting. We are going to organize a mass excursion to Nemrut Dagi [Mount Nemrud] on 17 August. We are going to take part in the rally that will be held in Van on 1 September, World Peace Day. We decided to set up a library in each district, within the framework of a book campaign. In addition, we have launched a campaign of speaking Kurdish in our district, where the Kurdish language, just as throughout the region, is faced with the danger of assimilation.

Yamac said that the campaign, which is beginning with the members and the officers of the party itself, will be expanded to encompass all the people.

Yamac said that the campaign will continue until speaking in Kurdish becomes more widespread.
