The UK Kurdish
Federation, Fed-Bir, are to hold their seventh
Annual General Meeting at the Kurdish Community
Centre in Portland Gardens this Sunday.
January 4, 2007
An umbrella organisation representing member
community associations such as Halkevi, Kurdish
Community Centre, Mala Hevaltiye and the Mesopotamia
Society, Fed Bir will take the opportunity to
reflect on what chairperson Arzu Peşmen has hailed
as a year of lobbying and social work.
The federation will also thank friends and
supporters including the Mayor of London, Ken
Livingstone, for hosting the Newroz (Kurdish New
Year) reception, and for the GLA’s work with the
Kurdish community in London. |

Fed-Bir chairperson, Arzu Peşmen, said: "This year
we ran many campaigns to defend the fundamental
rights of Kurdish people living in Kurdistan or in
exile, and were also involved in several campaigns
to raise awareness of the Kurdish issue.
"As an organisation representing the biggest
stateless community in UK, we have had great
experiences through our close involvement with other
democratic institutions and campaigns, mainly Peace
in Kurdistan, Campacc, Liberation, Stop the War,
Refugee Project and others," she added.
Ms Peşmen also claimed the organisation has learnt a
lot from work with the Greater London Authority and
other Kurdish, Turkish and Turkish Cypriot
organisations to tackle problems surrounding
education, health and employment, and to boost the
community’s engagement in social and political life
in the UK.
She said: "We have great respect for friends of
Kurds and those who have worked to keep democracy
alive in UK and elsewhere."
The AGM will take place at the Kurdish Community
Centre, Fairfax Hall, 11 Portland Gardens, N4 1HU,
from 3pm-7pm on Sunday 7 January.
