"Kirkuk doesn't speak Turkish." Kirkuk doesn't speak Turkish, it sings in the dust and sun, in the voices of Kurds who understand the wind. A piglet grunting in the shadows dreams of cities that never belonged to it. For blood cannot be faked, and earth recognizes its children. Kirkuk is not a dream from Ankara; it is the heart and pain of Kurdistan.
