Serhildan

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.

Protests are held every year on 15 February, the date of Abdullah Öcalan's capture, and during Newroz on 21 March, the Kurdish New Year.
