We explore together the small town of Amedi, or Amadiya, and after the visit, and wonderful views over the region, we go for a special dessert, a kunefe. The guy of the kunefe shop refuses that I pay him… every day someone offers something for free, here, in Kurdistan.

For your information, the Parthian and Sassanid empires are not Persian Kino, Parthians were a very close relative of Medes and the Sassanid empire was Kurdish. Amedi is way older than the Persian empire, it was part of the Median confederation which is way before than Persian empire. Medes are the ancestors of modern Kurds. We Kurds had several important confederations in the Zagros mountains like Mannaea, Lullubi, Guti, etc…
In all part of Kurdistan, there are cities with Med in their name which mean the city of Medes like Amed (Diyarbekir) in North Kurdistan, Amedane (Hamadan) in East Kurdistan, and Amedi in South Kurdistan.
Hope you visit Rojhelat/Rojhilat (East Kurdistan) as well
What a shame as usual from Barzani zone! These guys in Mersin Kunefe shop are all Kurdish but they keep saying it is originally Turkish! Even those places they mention are all Kurdish cities in North Kurdistan like Dilok which fascist regime of Turkey changed it to Antep (Gaziantep). This is how fascist Turkey tries to eliminate anything Kurdish in North Kurdistan, Turkey tries so hard to assimilate, genocide or simply eliminate Kurds in North Kurdistan and make everything Turkish. We are Kurdish and we stay Kurdish.
As usual the Barzani and KDP zone brought shame to the Kurdish people!
Generosity is part of Kurdish society not only for foreigner but also for locals
Thx for coming our country I’m from slemani by the way hope u enjoy
😍😍😍
Hello there my friend you have the city of Amedi. You have it all wrong it was 4000 years ago B C. built by the Assyrian empire there as no One else besides the Assyrian people that built that city please correct your wording. Thank u

Hello again, Yves. Sorry I am writing so often but your videos show me so much. I love this one because it is a place I would never be able to visit myself. I am much older than you and have travelled a lot in Europe/North Africa but never to the middle east. You have been making such an incredible journey on your "bike" – how I wish I was 30 years younger to do the same. You are very brave. It is so fascinating to see the places you go and the people you meet I just want to thank you for the things you have shown in your videos. D

KURDISH PEOPLE ARE NICE AND GENEROUS BECAUSE THEY HAVE PERSIAN BLOOD .
Welcome to our country, Sir ☺
The Kurdish people have been famous since ancient times for their hospitality, helping strangers, sacrificing for the sake of their homeland, and protecting friends and guests from enemies.
