<p>While  the Chinese celebrate the lunar New Year (February 14th this year), all  of the Muslim minority groups here in Xinjiang &#8211; including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_people" target="_blank">Uyghurs</a> - will celebrate a festival called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowruz"><strong>Noruz</strong></a> &#8211;  also spelled <em>Nowruz</em> and pronounced to sound like &#8220;new rose&#8221;.   Unlike the Chinese Spring Festival, Noruz marks the actual first day of  spring and is celebrated on March 21st around the world, plus or minus a  day due to time zone variation.</p>
<p>Uyghurs, Hui, Kazakh and all other Muslim minorities don&#8217;t get a  day off for this holiday, but that doesn&#8217;t stop its celebration.   Families and friends usually gather to take part in a big meal and watch  traditional dances and songs on TV.</p>
<p>Outside the cities where farming is the primary profession, this  holiday is also supposed to mark the first day for ploughing the  fields.  In the south of Xinjiang the weather usually permits this but  in the north the temperature is still too cold to begin.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">NOVRUZ 1967</p>
<p><span>Novruz was  unofficially celebrated in the Soviet period, for the reason that the  government prohibited the celebrations. Despite all that each Azerbaijan  family followed the hundred years old traditions and celebrated Novruz.</span></p>
<p>Nature starts to wake in Novruz and Azerbaijan people demonstratively  celebrate it a month before March 21. On Tuesdays we celebrate Su Charshabnasi  (water-Tuesday), Odlu Charshanba(fire- Tuesday),Torpag Charshanba  (land-Tuesday) and Akhir Charshanba(final or wind- Tuesday) according to  the folk belief water in the first Tuesday purifies and stirs, fire in  the second Tuesday, land on the third Tuesday and wind in the fourth  Tuesday awaken the nature, the trees begin to blossom; all this  symbolize spring is coming.</p>
<p>Noruz holiday is rich with ancient traditions and games. ‘Khidir  Ilyas’ the symbol of productivity and blossom),’Kos-Kosa’- funny square  game (the symbol of spring’s coming) and fortune- telling are among  them.</p>

<p><span id="more-1035"></span>&#8220;Recognizing the historical and cultural significance of the Persian  Nowruz holiday is an important and long-overdue milestone,” said Senator  Menendez. “Nowruz is both an ancient Persian ritual and a moment of  renewal that celebrates life.”</p>

<p><a href="http://paaia.carbonswan.com/DAV10179.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>NOWRUZ </strong><strong>RESOLUTION</strong></a><br />
Recognizing the cultural and historical significance of Nowruz, expressing appreciation to Iranian-Americans for their contributions to society, and wishing Iranian-Americans and the people of Iran a prosperous new<br />
year.</p>
<p>Whereas Nowruz marks the traditional Iranian New Year, which originated in ancient Persia, and dates back more than 3,000 years;</p>
<p>Whereas Nowruz, meaning a ‘‘New Day’’, occurs on the vernal equinox and celebrates the arrival of spring;</p>
<p>Whereas Nowruz symbolizes a time of renewal and community, harkens the departure from the trials and tribulations of the previous year, and brings hope for the New Year;</p>
<p>Whereas Nowruz is celebrated by nearly 300,000,000 Iranians and other peoples all over the world, including in the United States, Iran, and other countries in Central Asia, South Asia, Caucasus, Crimea, and the Balkan regions;</p>
<p>Whereas Nowruz is celebrated by more than 1,000,000 Iranian-Americans of all backgrounds, including those with Baha’i, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Zoroastrian, and nonreligious backgrounds;</p>
<p>Whereas the people of Iran have a long history of celebrating Nowruz and are congratulated for their bringing in of the New Year;</p>
<p>Whereas Nowruz embodies the tradition that each individual’s thinking, speaking, and conduct should always be virtuous and the ideal of compassion for our fellow human beings regardless of ethnicity or religion, and symbolizes a time of renewal and community;</p>
<p>Whereas the United States is a melting pot of ethnicities and religion and Nowruz contributes to the richness of American culture and is consistent with our founding principles of peace and prosperity for all;</p>
<p>Whereas in 539 B.C., Cyrus the Great established one of the earliest charters on human rights, which abolished slavery and allowed for freedom of religion, and this marker in Iranian history has had significant impact on the respect for human rights that Iranian-Americans carry today;</p>
<p>Whereas Nowruz serves to remind the people of the United States of the many noteworthy and lasting contributions of Iranian-Americans to the social and economic fabric of society in the United States;</p>
<p>Whereas Iranian-Americans continue to make contributions in all sectors of public life in the United States, including as government, military, and law enforcement officials working to uphold the Constitution of the United States and to protect all people in the United States;</p>
<p>Whereas Iranian-Americans are vibrant, peaceful, and law-abiding citizens, many of whom are of the Baha’i, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Zoroastrian faiths;</p>
<p>and Whereas the Iranian-American community continues to enrich the tapestry of the diversity in the United States:</p>
<p>Now, therefore, be it</p>
<p>Resolved, That the Senate—</p>
<p><strong>(1) </strong>recognizes the cultural and historical significance of Nowruz;<br />
<strong>(2)</strong> encourages the peaceful observance of the Nowruz holiday in Iran, and strongly supports the right of all Iranians to exercise freedom of assembly, freedom of expression, and freedom of speech;<br />
<strong>(3)</strong> expresses its appreciation for the contributions of Iranian-Americans to society in the United States in observance of Nowruz; and<br />
<strong>(4)</strong> wishes Iranian-Americans and the people of Iran and all those who observe this holiday a prosperous new year.</p>

<p>The Kurdish version of Nawroz is that there was a tyrant named Zuhak who  wanted to end the Kurds and genocide them. Historical storytellers say  that Zuhak got sick and two snakes came onto his two shoulders and  refused to eat anything except human brains. So Zuhak, to spare his own  brain, had to slaughter two youths every day and give their brains to  the snakes. Of course, he chose to sacrifice Kurds, and his gardener  would bring two Kurdish heads for him every day. This went on for  awhile&#8230;see the rest of story <a href="http://www.yassinaref.com/letters/03-20-08.htm" target="_blank">here</a> and happy Kurdish year of 2622.</p>
<p>All Kurds around the world are celebrating the new year &#8216;Newroz&#8217;. With this festival Kurds gather into the fairgrounds mostly outside the cities to welcome spring. Women wear colored dresses and spangled head scarves and young men wave flags of green, yellow and red, the colors of the Kurdish people. They hold this festival by lighting fire and dancing around it.<span style="font-family: Arial;font-size: x-small"> </span><a href="http://ekurd.net/mismas/articles/misc2010/3/kurdlocal833.htm" target="_blank">ekurd.net</a></p>

<p>Iran &#8211; Israel Friendship group is for for Irani and Israeli people who -=refuse  hating each other=- not only because of the common friendly history, but  also because these two are sibling cultures and mentalities. Due to  massive hate expressions in Iran towards the Jewish people and the state  of Israel, the only home of the jewish people in the world, *AND* due  to profound phobic and ignorant point of view of many Israelis on the  Irani people, We decided to open up a Tri-lingual group for Iranis and  Israelis who say: *NO TO HATE, NO TO IGNORANCE*</p>
<p>این گروه به  منظور برقراری دوستی میان ایرانیان و اسرائیلیان برپا گشتهنه فقط از آنرو  که تاریخی دوستانه دارند بلکه از آنرو که فرهنگ های مشابه و خلق و خوی  یکسان نیز میان آنها مشهود استبه دلیل اینکه در ایران بخاطر حضور حکومت  اسلامی نفرت از اسرائیل و یهودیان تبلیغ می شود و بخاطر دیدگاههای متعصب و  تند روی برخی از ساکنین اسرائیل نسبت به ایران ما تصمیم گرفته ایم که این  گروه سه زبانه را برپا داریم.برای آن ایرانیان و اسرائیلیانی که به نفرت و  دگماتیسم نه می گویند*</p>

<p>זוהי קבוצת ידידות אירנית &#8211;  ישראלית עבור ישראלים ואירנים המסרבים לשנוא אחד את השני, רק כי ההנהגה  האירנית גזענית.לא רק היסטוריה משותפת ועשירה יש בין היהודים והאירנים (ע&#8221;ע  כורש), אלא גם מנטאליות די דומה (ובואו נפריד בין מה שרואים על אירן  בטלביזיה, לבין העם האירני האמיתי), ולמעשה אלו זוג תרבויות אחיות.לאור  ביטויי שינאה וגזענות כלפי העם היהודי והציונות, הכחשת השואה וכוונה להשמיד  את המדינה שלנו (הבית היחיד של עם ישראל!), ולאור בורות עמוקה בישראל לגבי  האירנים והתרבות הפרסית (&#8221;פרסים הם ערבים&#8221; &#8211; דעה של הרבה ישראלים), ופחד  מיותר מכל דבר אירני, החלטתי לפתוח את פורום הידידות הזה, כדי להראות לעולם  שאפשר, רצוי, וקל להתגבר על האיום ממזרח  &#8211;  ברוח של ידידות והבנה.הקבוצה  הזו עומדת נגד גזענות, אנטישמיות, אנטי-ציונות ובורות<a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=178451239201#!/group.php?v=wall&amp;gid=178451239201" target="_blank">!</a></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center">Remarks of President Obama Marking Nowruz</h3>
<p>Today, I want to extend my best wishes to all who are celebrating  Nowruz in the United States and around the world. On this New Year’s  celebration, friends and family have a unique opportunity to reflect on  the year gone by; to celebrate their time together; and to share in  their hopes for the future.</p>
<p>One year ago, I chose this occasion to speak directly to the people  and leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and to offer a new chapter  of engagement on the basis of mutual interests and mutual respect. I did  so with no illusions. For three decades, the United States and Iran  have been alienated from one another. Iran’s leaders have sought their  own legitimacy through hostility to America. And we continue to have  serious differences on many issues.</p>
<p>I said, last year, that the choice for a better future was in the  hands of Iran’s leaders. That remains true today. Together with the  international community, the United States acknowledges your right to  peaceful nuclear energy – we insist only that you adhere to the same  responsibilities that apply to other nations. We are familiar with your  grievances from the past – we have our own grievances as well, but we  are prepared to move forward. We know what you’re against; now tell us  what you’re for.</p>
<p>For reasons known only to them, the leaders of Iran have shown  themselves unable to answer that question. You have refused good faith  proposals from the international community. They have turned their backs  on a pathway that would bring more opportunity to all Iranians, and  allow a great civilization to take its rightful place in the community  of nations. Faced with an extended hand, Iran’s leaders have shown only a  clenched fist.</p>
<p>Last June, the world watched with admiration, as Iranians sought to  exercise their universal right to be heard. But tragically, the  aspirations of the Iranian people were also met with a clenched fist, as  people marching silently were beaten with batons; political prisoners  were rounded up and abused; absurd and false accusations were leveled  against the United States and the West; and people everywhere were  horrified by the video of a young woman killed in the street.</p>
<p>The United States does not meddle in Iran’s internal affairs. Our  commitment – our responsibility – is to stand up for those rights that  should be universal to all human beings. That includes the right to  speak freely, to assemble without fear; the right to the equal  administration of justice, and to express your views without facing  retribution against you or your families.</p>
<p>I want the Iranian people to know what my country stands for. The  United States believes in the dignity of every human being, and an  international order that bends the arc of history in the direction of  justice – a future where Iranians can exercise their rights, to  participate fully in the global economy, and enrich the world through  educational and cultural exchanges beyond Iran’s borders. That is the  future that we seek. That is what America is for.</p>
<p>That is why, even as we continue to have differences with the Iranian  government, we will sustain our commitment to a more hopeful future for  the Iranian people.  For instance, by increasing opportunities for  educational exchanges so that Iranian students can come to our colleges  and universities and to our efforts to ensure that Iranians can have  access to the software and Internet technology that will enable them to  communicate with each other, and with the world without fear of  censorship.</p>
<p>Finally, let me be clear: we are working with the international  community to hold the Iranian government accountable because they refuse  to live up to their international obligations. But our offer of  comprehensive diplomatic contacts and dialogue stands. Indeed, over the  course of the last year, it is the Iranian government that has chosen to  isolate itself, and to choose a self-defeating focus on the past over a  commitment to build a better future.</p>
<p>Last year, I quoted the words of the poet Saadi, who said: &#8220;The  children of Adam are limbs to each other, having been created of one  essence.” I still believe that – I believe it with every fiber of my  being. And even as we have differences, the Iranian government continues  to have the choice to pursue a better future, and to meet its  international responsibilities, while respecting the dignity and  fundamental human rights of its own people.</p>
<p>Thank you. And Aid-e-Shoma Mobarak.</p>
