So we have basic came here with one main question just how different is this form of nationalism compared to other countries that ive been to that you just mentioned because iraq is not a state which would like to be a state prides itself to be more inclusive to be basically representative of a very civic full for National Islam all the way here i am not so want to young man who prepares that very controversial independence referendum that took place here last september and talking to him he said this is full of nationalism is civic in his eyes and hes going to remain civic evah he also said that hes very much disappointed that there was no reaction internationally to condemn the violence of iraq as a backlash as a result of that referendum and he said thats actually another proof that they should push ahead with independents the big question is just another this civic forum if nationalism remains civic or not lets have a look at the reports. They have a flag but they do not have a nation thats what independence referendum was about to be boards are still up but the euphoria about the quest for independence in iraq has subsided these rising concern over isolation by iraq and neighboring countries. Turkey but the bit that is just how long does border will remain open the turkish government could shut it at any time they say they fear an independent kurdish state could increase separatist tension in turkey as well iraqs Central Government in baghdad has called International Links to rb oh so its not possible to fly there now we have to drive to the capital city of the kurdistan region on the way we come upon this market which is usually. What clashes between iraqi forces and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters since the referendum have kept people from going. To sign a new than the marketing kurdistan has grown to hold traders down to zero. But the referendum was the will of the people its our natural right to demand independence. Our rights to have a nation what does that mean we are about to meet someone who helped organize the referendum. He divides us for coup de sean to talk about the struggle for identity this is a very. Bright young what does it mean to you at miss our survival minas our very culture. And we have to protect. Ourself physical being because without the food we wont have a culture without the culture there wont be a kurdish nation. During our conversation adi can stop himself from following the news about the conflict fighting over territory and oil for adi its a story of being oppressed for generations i learned to be kurdish when i was in my mother. Because her brother and her nephews were missing as part of the genocide she was displaced when i was in. The us when i have been. In heavy thing the kurdish identity he tells me about his family being displaced during saddam husseins rule about the gas attack in the eightys against kurds. He hates being called iraqi. Is very or first it is very humiliating to hold occurred in iraqi passport as a Kurdish People feel like im being here with every single time when i put into my pocket or into my back. If he wants to fight for a kurdish nationalism that is civic and inclusive of different ethnicities unlike the brand of nationalism in neighboring countries he sounds but is an independent kurdish state the proper solution to war identity opinions vary. Is an analyst of the Iraqi Kurdish conflict like most people he voted yes on the referendum but in the conflict growing in iraq he no fears that kurdish nationalism could be used for a negative sense. Whats really fear is that this crisis turns kurdish nationalism into something that can create problems between the people. This streets was the street where everybody used to meet. Everybody they would come here for a meal. Nowadays says the crisis less and less arabs are coming the question is how the Kurdish Regional government to a capitalize on growing nationalist sentiment in the middle east the balance of power can change facts. Is a funny senior forth there are how united are Kurdish People vary in their push for independence. Let me actually just take you to the main square in spending quite some time talking to all kinds of people in of all kinds of ages who are really much united by the fact that they do want independence if they speak from their heart they definitely want a woman and for Kurdish People they want an independent state whatever theyre split over the question when this state should actually exist especially since we have seen that backlash from baghdad as a result of the controversial independence referendum so if you really fear that maybe wasnt quite the right timing put it independence referendum to go i had also it is a huge question over the fact that president barzani announced that hes going to step down here within the next two days some say that is not a good decision he should remain the leader even though hes still are actually expired already in twenty thirteen and was extended under a very controversial man or others again say its time for president karzai to go to make sure there is another leader or that its the parliament itself that is leading this iraq according to force a statement towards a nation so the picture is not as equal or is or is not as clear as the poll as the suggest as the referendum may suggest as a result of the independence referendum may suggest funny its not just iraq you know we cant forget there is also a very large and strong Kurdish Community and turkey where you have also been how does the nationalism in the kurdish communities in these two countries how does it compare
