Dear visitors to this site!
Dear friends of the Jemal Nebez Foundation!
What a challenging year!
We are still in the process of reorganizing our library project, but important contacts have been established and preparatory work has been done for the new start.
The international activities that were successfully launched last year are being continued and are in the process of being anchored in our foundation.
Our new start has been put on the right track
Details on this will be provided at this year's Zoom Online Annual General Meeting on December 14, to which we also invite newly interested parties and guests if they have informed us of their interest in advance. Please use our contact form.
Even before the date, we want to update this website in the important places, which is necessary, but which we have had to postpone so far due to time constraints.

Annual General Meeting
Dear visitors to this Site!
Dear friends of the Jemal Nebez Foundation!
What also challenged us this year was the crisis mode that gripped everyday life via the media. No less than three mega-crises have occupied politicians worldwide, right up to the highest level, and also the media worldwide, throughout the year and continue to do so.
There was the climate crisis with the increasing number of major natural disasters around the world.
There were always new updates on Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, which has not stopped escalating and has now been going on for three years without negotiations between the two parties.
And thirdly, a new kind of war or terror-war situation emerged at the beginning of this year - after the terrorist attack by the Palestinian Hamas from Gaza on Israel in October 2023 - which originated or was tolerated by states in the immediate vicinity of Israel. Even from distant Iran, which, in the case of the rockets it fired at Israel, took responsibility without being asked and called it a retaliatory action.
Here on our homepage in April of this year, we briefly mentioned the partition of the Kurds for which the victorious powers of the First World War were responsible. More precisely, it was the partition of the part of Kurdistan that had fallen to the Ottoman Empire in the 17th century in a historic treaty with Safavid Iran (Treaty of Qasre-Shirin, 1639), while the other part (today Rojhelat/Eastern Kurdistan in Iran) did not experience any state reallocation, as Qajar Iran had remained neutral in the First World War.
As for the further partition that was carried out on the part of Kurdistan formerly belonging to the Ottoman Empire, in a long and painful process during which three new states were founded, first and foremost Turkey (1923), followed by Iraq (1932) and finally, shortly after the founding of the UNO in 1945) Syria was founded (1946).
Two years later, in 1948 it was Israel's turn. Then the NATO was founded, in 1949. By that time the Cold War was already in full swing.
We are indeed looking to the new era and the present with concern. When the cold war ended a new situation had already emerged. There used to be two, now there are several centers of power. The UN has revealed its helplessness and has retreated to managing conflicts. It seems that only strong states are trusted to make decisions.
Everything that is right and important and is ignored must be repeated
This was also on our previous homepage. There is no statute of limitations on genocide, nor on the unlawful division of a cultural nation.
We intend to address the documented history of the suffering of the Kurds and their difficult current situation whenever we have the opportunity to do so, and we are looking for ways to do so. We strive for recognition for Kurds, also for what they have already contributed to the world cultural heritage.
Let us remain confident!
Best regards

Dear friends of Jemal Nebez, dear Kurds!
2024-04-20
It is hard to believe, but these terrible times for Kurds everywhere, but especially in their home regions, go on and on.
It is clearer than ever: the Kurds are endangered as a people and a nation, and not least where they are at home, in their ancestral settlement area of Kurdistan, which is located in the heart of the Middle East and as a result of the First World War - in a process that dragged on until shortly after the end of the Second World War - was divided up into several newly founded nation states without having one itself.
After the end of the war, the Kurds were granted a state in 1920. Then they were overrun by the founding of Turkey, which - shortly afterwards - began a new kind of genocidal policy against the Kurds now living within its borders in the north of Kurdistan. At the same time, the mandate powers tasked with the reorganization of the remaining mass of the defunct Ottoman Empire were more concerned with securing their own advantages than with finding a solution for the Kurds of southern and western Kurdistan entrusted to their care. They and the League of Nations (followed by the UN) failed shamefully to secure lasting rights for these Kurds within the newly created Arab nation states of Iraq (1932) and Syria (1946), if they were to remain without a state of their own.
What is right and important, and is ignored, must be repeated
There is no statute of limitations on genocide, nor on the unlawful division of a cultural nation. We see it as our duty to repeatedly address the documented history of the suffering of the Kurds and their difficult current situation, and we are looking for new and innovative ways to do so. Without this, there will be no satisfaction for Kurds which they deserve and no recognition for what Kurds have already contributed to the world cultural heritage independently and under difficult conditions.
New supporting members are always welcome
We are delighted that Hoshang Sabri, who has lived in Berlin for decades and is now a retired pharmacist, became our first supporting member in March of this year.
Let's stay confident!
Warm greetings
