strange that the kurdish people mean that navroz is their tradition..has anybody more information about it?

[lladams2]

It's technically a Zoroastrian holiday, but it has passed into the succesor Iranic and Turkic cultures from North India through Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, etc. so that explains why the Kurds also celebrate it.

@iko73 Nowrūz "New Day", originally "New Light") is the traditional celebration of the ancient Persian[2] New Year. Nowruz is also widely referred to as the Persian New Year.[3][4][5][6] Nowruz is celebrated and observed by Iranian peoples and the related cultural continent and has spread in many other parts of the world, including parts of Central Asia, South Asia, Northwestern China, the Crimea and some ethnic groups in Albania, Bosnia, Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia.

noooo! the Persians were in Persia from the begining. They were from there and always were just like the Turks are from asia. the Persians ddnt migrate anywhere and there empire began in 4000 BC. soo ya Turks came during middle ages. Media was never Turkic! they were Indo-Europeans! Kurds were the ones in charge of it and encompased much of the Assyrians and Persians. no Turks around except they took some of their land in Turkmenistan. soon the Persians took all this land and made it Persia!

look,Ottomans moved to east when some parts of the Turks living in the territory of Northern Azerbaijan and Norther Iran (Southern Azerbaijan) moved to east with Seljuks (afterwards Ottomans) as well. But before Seljuks Turks ruled in some of Eastern European areas (Huns,Pechengs etc.).Persians moved to present Iran,afterwards.Before Media,there was Manna, Turkic state,Media was Turkic,then persionalized

please look under Persian Empire and Nowruz on wiki or any non-turkish site. turks lie about history and everything.

[BijiApoCheHugoChavez]

yes, indo europeans were around far longer than turks were and far before they were in the middle east and Caucasus. theirs no such thing as Hindo-Europeans alrite. their Indo-Europeans k? they were in central asia and india and the mideast alll long before the turks. if u know anything about Zoroastrian, youll know its purely Persian and thus Indo-European and was made in Persia.turks were not in Persia till the Osmans. Persia took the other satrapies of Indo-Europeans, the Kurdish Medians.

[xekendaz]

no man,learn history.persians are hindo-europeans, so they did not exist there before Turks.You should learn that,in those territories existed first tribes/states like Lullubi,Kuti,Turukki.You see??Turukki?You know about Shumers?They have similiar identidy and language similiarity with Turks.You have been taught wrong things, man.

[BijiApoCheHugoChavez]

no they ddnt it came from Zoroastrian and the Persian Empire which was around before the Turks even existed. the Turks came to Azerbaijan with the Mongols as the anatolian turks. please learn ur history and that of the holiday. initially Persian deep in early Persia which ddnt come near central asia until much later.

[xekendaz]

Navruz, is a pure Turkic holiday. How it comes some of Turks living in the Northern part of Russia celebrate this holiday as well?? It is Turkic holiday, kurds and other persians adopted it from Turks.
