Subject: Discrimination by Iran
Date Posted: 02-Aug-2006 at 16:13
Me and my family were at the Iranian embassy to get identity cards. Then the lady we are talking to said that we need to change our names. They're not "iranian" or "muslim" enough. My sister's name is "Hero", a very popular, Kurdish name. How can't that be in they're dictionary of names? :S
 
It's really discriminating that we can't have our Kurdish names in our identity cards. My father had to change his name from Alan to Muhammed. :(
 
This is to all of you who thinks that Kurdish names are totally free to have in Iran :(
 
I've changed mine to "Aso".
 
Why the need to change name? Aren't our names islamic enough? :S

I am sorry for you, Cent. Ones name is part of ones identity and person, and being forced to change it must be though.
But you did get to choose your own name... that's interesting....

Ummm... Maybe there is something wrong with that woman.  Why did e change it to Muhamad? Why not a non-ISlamic name? I know for a fact you can use non Islamic names and there are millions that are both Kurdish and persian like Bahman, Bahram, Fereydoon etc, my name is Kurdish and Persian (slightly different meanings) and was banned about 10 years ago for being too violent, but I was not requried to change it to get my passport. 
 
Anyway, I was speaking to my uncle tonight who is over from Iran, I talked about Kordestan, since he had just been to Mariban, he said there is an unprecedented level of investement in infrastructure and economic development there and more and more autonomy is being granted little by little.  A waste of time  money if you ask me.   I am of the opinion that we should just let that area join up with Northern Iraq, we have no need for it.

Cent,

I am 100% behind you on this one. Forcing someone to change their name is a horrible crime, and as a person whose name has also been changed in the past I can only sympathise with you.

But as far as I know this practice has not occured in Turkey, or at least is not occurring at the moment. The only problem as I understand it is with using the letters "w", "q", and "x" which are absent fromt the Turkish alphabet, am I wrong?

During the Revival Process in Bulgaria, when all Bulgarian citizens were obliged to have Bulgarian names, and the names of more than a million Turks were changed, Armenians were somehow exempt as well.

My father vividly recalls how an Armenian member of parliament was expressing his support for the renaming campaign against the Turks, even though he had an Armenian name. When he was confronted by one of the more progressive parliamentarians and asked whether he would also agree to have a Bulgarian name as well, he replied by saying that his name had an old history and aristocratic origins, so it should not be changed.

     Thats just one guy's opinion, and a stupid one at that. But you have to remember, Turkey did the same thing to Armenians in their country way before this, so his opinion of Turks must have been really low. Thats not an excuse for his actions, but thats probably why he did it. I just don't think he would risk to go against the popular tide at the time just to stand up for the Turks.

Changing your name to conform with the local alphabet and customs, I believe, is fine. For example, if Petar Aleksic moves to Houston I think it would make sense for him to change his name to Peter Aleksich.

If Aysa al'Zoghby moves to Sarajevo, it wouldn't bother me if she was required to change her name to Ajsa Zoghbj.

However, changing Alan to Mohammed is a bit much even if he did it willingly, being forced to do it is hideous.

Am I missing something here....?
 
Is this a quiz about rugs and knowledge of counties and cities - or is it about Zagros not liking Kurds and trying to change the subject?
 
I thought it was about Cent having to change his name to visit relatives in Iran for the first time - and was forced to change his name to do so.
 
But of course, like I said, I could have missed something.

No, it was not because he was pressured, he did it because he wanted to support the crimes against the Turks, because he hated us. I know from my Armenian friend that many of the Armenians in Bulgaria are excessively anti-Turkish to the point that they would never befriend a Turk. During the Revival process when our names were changed, and we were persecuted, many Armenian played a very prominant role.

Armenians in my area are more open-minded  though because they live among Turks.

I've been here for more than 1 year. From the begining I've said that I'm a KURD. My family lives in Sna. Though I have family in three parts of Kurdistan.
 
Yet now, after one year, this "Kurd" Zagros, who doesn't even know Kurdish, questions MY ORIGIN.

I don't speak Kurdish, because tehre is no Kurdish langauge.  You mean Sorani?  Of course not, that language is not spoken where I am from.  Try Kermanshahi dialect ;)

You have said that your father was a Peshmerga against Iran, so how is it that he can even consider going to Iran?  My father was a member of fedayane khalq 25 years ago and he is still wanted, being a Peshmerga I think is a little more serious than being a member of the socialist party. 
 
You didn't even know what Peshmerga meant until I told you on msn.
 
And calling Sanandaj Sna, is a bit like calling Gothenburg Gothen.   You have obviously got that from wikipedia.
 
What district of Sanandaj is your family from, by the way?  My uncle's wife is also from Sanandaj.

OMG, dude, Peshmerga, one that can see into death. That's what I know.
 
Who said my father is going in one year? Maybe 10 years from now. Maybe when the regime is gone. Maybe never. Yet we need identity cards.
 
Yeah, KURDS usually don't call it Sanandaj, we say SNA.
 
"What district of Sanandaj is your family from, by the way?  My uncle's wife is also from Sanandaj." 
 
1 sec, going to ask my father. My family origin is divandara. A city north of Sna.

OK, then in that case what you say can be understandable if it is down to lack of any experience.  If you want to support Kurdish rights I suggest the PDK (whom my father supports too), any other group is untrustworthy and with extremist in views fanned by foreigners whose only interests are their own aims and not hte well being of Kurds and their neighbours.

So you're a marxist?  You realise Komala is deeply unpopular don't you? It is to Kurds what MEK is to Persians (not very popular and actually hated somewhat).
 
And actually Peshmarga, comes from Persian Peeshmarg-han  , it does not mean one who sees into death.
 
It means literally prior to death - prior meaning they die before their cause dies.

They were not militarily active in any city, shah's army was too strong for one thing, and they only had support from communists for another.

Well they had support. They went from house to house, village to village to spread marxism.

I know, they had to hide in the mountains. Peshmergas only have rpgs, ak-47 and grenades.
 
Though, my father told me that they had Sna for a little while under the revolution (or maybe some other period) - Is that true?

I didn't care about your personal belief, but the community you belong to.
