Kurdish National Congress of North America 23rd Annual Conference
Theme: Future of Kurdistan, One vs. Multiple States
The Kurdish National Congress of North America (KNC-NA) will hold its annual conference this weekend. KNC-NA is a pluralistic, secular, and democratic organization that promotes a united and free Kurdistan. By Kurdistan KNC-NA means all areas where Kurds have been living for centuries, and not only three provinces that KRG considers as Kurdistan. Kurds and friends of Kurds from all parts of Kurdistan and from around the world gather in this conference to discuss the past, the latest development, and the new ideas about the future of our homeland. We welcome your participation in our discussions. For updates please check our website at www.kncna.org or www.kncna.net
