Culture and invention

6: Since the uprising [1991] the majority of the Kurdish people have been rid of dictatorship but they are still under the yoke of several frightening powers. Such as the authoritarian rule, the power ignorance and fear exert on the citizens, the power of those symbolic idols that have seized the logic of people, and disallow the freedom of conscience, freedom of thoughts and criticism. The Gorran List believes challenging these dark forces is not only possible politically, but challenging them culturally, logically but in a civilized way. Until now the government and political party rule in Kurdistan with a clear program has not encouraged the cultural, artistic and intellectual powers to compete in a civilized way. The cultural, artistic, media projects be it websites or channels or newspapers, that have enlightened the Kurdish citizens after the uprising of the 1991 have been at the expense of their peace, their pockets. Psychological wars have been waged against these individuals and even there have been threats on their lives and have been accused of being baseless. While the duty of the government is to encourage artistic and intellectual abilities, even if they are affiliated with a political party or any powerful official, whereas the big budgets are spent on broadcast channels and party propaganda, or those associated with party. And when assistance was given to an independent artist, author or a centre, that assistance was for a particular political agenda, or to silence them or that person has been threatened to cut that interest and finally it was done silently. Of course when the inventor has been insulted morally, that inventor will lose confidence and less the ability to invent. In other words this money instead of flourishing art, has been to wither the field of invention. When the Kurdistan markets are opening up, the income and general budget is increasing, the market of art and culture has not flourished that much so the authors, artists and journalists without the assistance of the state, can produce their arts and live on the back of their arts. That is why the Gorran List believes that some of the budget should be set aside for cultural, media and artistic purposes. All the financial and moral requirements should be available for these artists and inventors that are serving the culture and Kurdish arts. And they convey the hidden facts and the cultural legacy to the new generation. But this assistance should not be politicized and be used as a weapon agains them. One strategic goal of this movement is to encourage any attempts to open the intellect of the mankind, freeing the will of the new generation, and familiarizing them with the culture of thinking and criticism. Encouraging the intellectuals, journalists and artists so they have something to say about general issues.
