Rezgari

Rezgari is a Kurdish word that translates to "liberation" or "freedom" in English. It is a concept of significant importance in Kurdish political and cultural discourse, often associated with the pursuit of self-determination, autonomy, and independence from oppressive regimes. The term encompasses both individual freedom and collective liberation as a nation or people.

Rezgari can refer to a broad range of struggles, from political movements advocating for Kurdish rights to armed resistance against perceived occupiers or suppressors. It frequently appears in the names of Kurdish political parties, organizations, and media outlets, reflecting its central role in the Kurdish national identity and aspiration for sovereignty. The concept is deeply rooted in the history of Kurdish resistance and the ongoing efforts to achieve greater political and cultural autonomy in the regions where Kurds constitute a significant population, primarily across parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. The meaning also extends beyond mere political freedom to include social, economic, and cultural liberation from various forms of oppression and discrimination.
