In the anniversary of death of the great Kurdish writer, novelist, judge and translator, Ibrahim Ahmed, the Ibrahim Ahmed Foundation opened a grand project at the Khak Hall in Sulaymaniyah under the supervision of Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed, Member of the executive body in the political bureau of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and daughter of the late writer.

 

The project includes displaying samples of soil from different areas of all 4 parts of the great Kurdistan as a way of showing the sanctity of the homeland.

 

Over 300 soil samples from different parts of the great Kurdistan were collected and showcased at the gallery, each of them having tags of the place they were brought from and each one has its own color, texture, and smell.

 

Everyone are welcomed to visit the gallery from Sunday-Thursday from (10 am- 4 pm) local time.

 

Kurdistan roughly encompasses the northwestern Zagros and the eastern Taurus mountain ranges. In 1916, the treaty of the Sykes-Picot Agreement devided the Great Kurdistan into four parts: One in southeastern Turkey (North Kurdistan), northern Iraq (South Kurdistan), northwestern Iran (East Kurdistan), and northern Syria (West Kurdistan).
