The Story behind the Daffodils (Nergez) and Kurdistan:
In the mountains of Kurdistan, the daffodil — known to Kurds as Nergez — blooms each spring as a symbol of resilience and renewal. These bright yellow flowers push through harsh winters and rocky soil, echoing the spirit of the Kurdish people: enduring, beautiful, and deeply rooted in their land.
This design outlines the map of Kurdistan in Nergez, each petal representing strength, beauty, and belonging. At the heart of it lies a word that speaks to every Kurd’s connection to home — “Kurdistanakam,” meaning “My Kurdistan.”
Another version softly whispers “Dlm la Kurdistana” — “My heart is in Kurdistan.” Two phrases, one feeling: a deep love for the homeland.
