Kurdish slogans

political and social slogan

The word serhildan describes several Kurdish protests and uprisings since the 1990s that used the slogan "Êdî Bese" ("Enough") against Turkey. Local shops are often closed on the day of demonstrations as a form of protest.

A kolbar () or kolber () are Kurdish border porters who carry goods across borders on foot or on horseback, legally or illegally, often outside official crossing points. Kolbars mainly transport goods from Iraqi Kurdistan into Iran's West Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, and Kermanshah provinces, but they also carry goods across the borders of Syria and Turkey.
