Hello Atilla,
one of the most important pictures in Christianity is the one called "Madonna": a picture showing Mother Mary with son Jesus.

The symbole of Mother and child is also important in other cultures.
Our land is the mother, our people is the child. And this is our situation... Growing up with war, living with war - dying because of war.

The story of our people is just like the story about a mother and child living apart from each other. One day, this child will be apart from his mother, too...he will move away, searching for a better world while his mother will stay in this village that symbolizes her Kurdish land.
Thanks for this strong photo! Spas! :)
regards, Ferhat
