Qedrîcan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Qedrî Can (1911-1972), was a Kurdish intellectual. He was not only a poet, but also a politician, historian, writer and translator. He was born in Dêrika Çiyayê Mazî, a small town in the Kurdish province of Mardin (the Kurdistan region currently under occupation of the Turkish government). After being "blacklisted" for his Kurdish patriotic acts (treason against the Turkish state) he escaped to Syria to avoid death. Qedrî Can lived in Damascus until his death in 1972.
