JOY IN VICTORY

"A joy shared is a joy doubled."
~ Unknown.


I'm posting photos for a second day in a row because these are the ones I've been waiting for. These are photos of post-election celebrations for DTP's victory from all around North Kurdistan and beyond. There are just a few posted here because Özgür Gündem has well over 250 photos from the celebrations and you can begin browsing through all of them here.

In the meantime, you can join me and bask in the joy:
















Gever (Yüksekova) 90% PKK, 0% Destruction [and] Denial.

Thank you for these photos, Mizgîn. I shivered of happiness after watching them. The one photo I prefered, but it's not on your blog, is the one on which a Kurdish mother kiss the forehead of a touched Osman Baydemir.
It's too moving.
