Kurt identified constraints on the Kurdish language with the “language genocide” concept in international literature and summarized the practices of this genocide as “completely or partially exterminate a language or a dialect and to prevent the language’s natural development”. Kurt defined the concept of “language genocide” as follows;
- Obstructing the cultural development circumstances of a bilingual society with the aim of domination a single language.
- Despite the demands of an ethnic group with a different language, Not granting the right to the use of this language in mass communication instruments and to teach this language at public schools.
- Despite the demands of an ethnic group with a different language, refusing to give a moral and material support to the cultural works and efforts this group practices to keep their language alive.
