OUR MISSION;

Toronto Kurdish Community is established to protect and develop further the social, economic, political  and cultural rights of the Kurdish people. Our community adopts the principles of international law and strongly supports the laws aimed at preventing discriminations based on race, gender, religion, language and culture.

Guided by the above principals the mission of Toronto Kurdish Community is to alleviate problems of the Kurdish society resulting from migration as well as to promote and inform the Canadian public and institutions about the struggle of the Kurdish people for their existence, language, culture and national identity.

Although the Kurds number over 40 million people, the United Nations and other international organisations do not recognise the Kurdish people. Toronto Kurdish Community Centre will intensify its efforts in representing Kurdish people in democratic platforms in Canada. Toronto Kurdish Community Centre sees it duty to guide and co-ordinate the Kurdish Community Associations that aim to unite and develop the Kurdish people.

Dear Friends, December 30, 2011

Canadians have just celebrated the Christmas and the world is prepared to welcome a New Year with anticipation of new hopes an

d dreams...

Yet, Kurds are once again left in grief and agony by the actions of the criminal Turkish army and fascist Islamic government.
Yesterday at 21.00pm local time in the Kurdish populated region of South Eastern Turkey, near the border of South Kurdistan (Northern Iraq), the Turkish army encountered more than 50 Kurds aged 12 to 20 from the Village of Ortasu (Roboski) and Gülyazı. They were returning home from border shopping in South Kurdistan when Turkish military forced them to return back. Moments later Turkish military planes bombed the area where 36 Kurds lost their lives. The pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party condemned the air strike as a "massacre", saying that all the victims were Kurdish civilians.
Military aggression of the Turkish Army in the region has been well documented in the past. Yet, the International community has remained silent and this silence has encouraged the criminal mind of the Turkish government to continue its unjust assault on unprotected civilian population in the Kurdish populated areas.
