"There was exile 128 years ago, and today there is pressure and siege. There is pressure on the entire press, but this pressure is even greater on the Kurdish press," said DEM Party spokesperson Ayşegül Doğan.

“Despite the conditions of repression and violence, Kurdish journalism goes along on its path, never making any concessions from the path or tradition of struggle created by journalists such as Mîqdat Mîdhed Bedirxa and Musa Anter,” says HDP MP Temel.

Kurdistan Newspaper was published on April 22, 1898. The newspaper is considered to be the starting point of Kurdish journalistic activities and the date of its establishment is being celebrated as the Kurdish Journalism Day.
