First of all, this is not a fan letter because I am a Kurd from Kurdistan.

I would like to tell you to bundle the nonsense greetings you are conveying to Southern Kurdistan from your Turkish people and take them back to from wherever you came. Upon your return, convey Southern Kurdistan’s message to your Turkish people: Allow the Kurds who are occupied by your country to live freely. In fact, it is a pity that the KRG allowed “Turkish” people of your sort to enter Kurdistan, but this is not the first time which KRG acted in an irrational manner.

My purpose is quite limited; I do not intend to steal your fabricated music and switch it to Kurdish. I only wish to wake the Kurds who are planning to attend your concerts from their very deep sleep.

Allow me to remind you, as you prefer to be a Turk, and allow me to remind my Southern Kurdish brothers and sisters of the latest tragedies caused by your Turkish government in Shemzinan.

Mr. Tatlises: It seems money has the ability to lead people in many different directions. As you prefer to be a Turk, was your press conference in Hewler not an excellent chance to apologize to us Kurdistani’s for stealing our folkloric music and modifying it to your language, which I suppose, is Turkish? Rather than repaying Kurdistani’s for the songs you stole, you still insist on advertising your Turkish nationality that has brought nothing more than a struggle for Kurdish identity.
Actually, I take it back. Money does not lead everyone to the direction you preferred to take back in the1970s.

Money never directed musicians like Sivan Perwer, Nasir Rezazi, Ciwan Haco, Mezheri Xaliqi, Nemir Merziya Rezazi, Diyar, Nemir Hozan Serhad, Hozan Shemdin, Behcet Yehya, Sheribana Kurdi, Firat Baskale, Ednan Kerim, Necmettin Xulami, Nizamettin Aric, Zekerya, Zinar Sozdar…etc (The purpose is not to mention all the great, and in fact brave, Kurdish singers.)

I will remain disappointingly yours,
