: What do u most of u think ? do u think that we can live with the Kurds ? We had no problem since 1991 and I think this is a good chance to achieve our goals. We couldnt use our language until 1991.. Now with a Kurdish goverment we can be born again..

: what do the rest of u think ?
+++ 1) What do you mean by "be born again". Please define.
+++ 2) Could this possibly be a shy hint ?
Best Picks from the Draft Constitution for the Iraqi Kurdistan Region:
"Article (5)
1. Kurdish is the official language of Iraqi Kurdistan. In addition, Arabic will be an official language in matters concerning communications with the Federal Government.
2. Instruction at all levels of education will generally be in Kurdish. Arabic and one foreign language will be taught towards the end of the elementary level and in the higher levels. Minorities in Iraqi Kurdistan have the right to USE their own language UNTIL they reach higher education. "
