Thus, a Kurdish-language magazine was first published in 1898 in Cairo. Since the founding of the Turkish Republic, it is for the local Kurds no longer possible to write in their own language. Thus publications in Kurmanji appear mainly in Europe. Many Kurdish writers, who had to leave their homes because of their work, have only been found in the migration, the ability to write freely. Some Kurds learn only in exile (eg in Europe) to use their Kurdish language as a written language.
