Kurds gathered in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday to celebrate the Kurdish New Year (Newroz). The city is widely referred to among Kurds as Little Kurdistan. The annual Newroz celebration in Nashville, typically held on March 21, was postponed this year due to its overlap with the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The event is notable for drawing Kurds from around the world, and during Newroz, Nashville transforms into a vibrant symbol of a united Kurdistan. | Rudaw English
