Kurds mark 77th anniversary of Republic of Kurdistan
Kurds on Sunday marked the 77th anniversary of the establishment of the Republic of Kurdistan in Mahabad.
The short-lived Kurdistan Republic was declared independence on January 22, 1946, in its capital in Mahabad, northern Iran.
It was founded by Kurdish leader Qazi Mohammed who also later became the President of the first-ever Kurdish Republic.
The republic lived for only 11 months. It dissolved in December 1946 after the Iranian forces enter the capital, putting an end to the Kurdish state by repression.
Every year, Kurds around the world celebrate the foundation of the Kurdistan Republic as the symbol of pride despite its short life.
