U zemlji gdje je kurdski jezik bio nezakonit do ranih 1990-tih godina, a njegova upotreba se danas u nekim sredinama još uvijek sasijeca, ideal jednakosti -- da kamoli autonomije -- izgleda da je teško postići.
In a country where the Kurdish language was illegal until the early 1990s and its use is still curtailed in some settings today, the ideal of equality -- let alone autonomy -- may seem out of reach.
