"This Kurdish flower also decorates many Kurdish childhoods since any caring parent or grandparent will talk about the tulip to their children. That is the only way that Kurds in Turkey can teach their history and culture to their children.

This flower is a symbol of the tragic Kurdish love story of Mam and Zin (Mem û Zîn), written by a Kurdish poet, mystic, scholar, and intellectual – Ehmedê Xanî(Ahmad Khani) (1650-1707), born in the Hakkari province of Northern Kurdistan. He was the first spokesman for a united and independent Kurdistan. ‘Mam and Zin’ was published in 1692. It is an important source for understanding different aspects of Kurdish society in the 16th and 17th centuries.

‘Mam and Zin’ is the story of a pure and divine love between a young Kurdish man, Mam, and a Kurdish princess, Zin, ending with the tragic death of the two lovers. They fell in love with each other but could not be together because they belonged to different tribes, and because a malicious man, Beko, did everything to prevent them from coming together. Mam died in combat and Zin died of grief after her lover’s death. They were buried side by side. Beko lay down on the ground between the graves which soon grew a thorn bush where his blood had fallen. The faced-down tulip is said to originate from Mam and Zin’s tragic death. It is believed that Mam and Zin’s tears fell into the soil and turned into a beautiful tulip.

Na verdade, são línguas curdas pois seus dialetos podem ser considerados línguas em si mesmas, algumas ininteligíveis entre si:
