Into The Heart of Kurdish Iran... Trouble in Kermanshah?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 бер 2023
- In the 17th episode of Paths Less Traveled - Iran, I reach Kermanshah (کرمانشاه), the biggest city and heart of the Kurdish North of Iran.
The trip was getting difficult at this stage. The protests in the country following the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini started just after I arrived in Iran but were getting bigger at this point, and the impact on the streets was a lot more noticeable.
As the protests spread from Amini's hometown of Saqqez in Iranian Kurdistan to other cities in the region, it wasn't surprising that the impact could be felt in Kermanshah, the biggest city.
While I stayed away from the protests on this day for my safety (I did not want to risk being arrested by the police or worse), the tension was clear on the street and much was closed.
The following morning, I learnt from locals that there had been big protests in the evening along with brutality from the riot police there.
This is the story of my strange time in Kermanshah.
On the way there I had the good chance to come by and visit and Iranian nomadic tribe, along with visiting the ancient city of Bisotun (بیستون). Also the beautiful Taq-e Bostan (طاق بستان) hisotrical site which was right by my hotel well out of the city center.
I was able to visit the city center, but found almost all shops in the bazaar shut due to the protests, along with the Shafei Jameh Mosque (مسجد جامع شافعی) and Tekiye Moaven Al Molk (تكيه معاون الملک).
Given the tension on the streets we wanted to get out of the pretty quickly but did find a place to buy and try the traditional Kermanshah sweets, Nan Berenji and Nan Khormaii.
Then it was quickly away from the center back out to the hotel area to eat the local Dande Kebab of barbeque ribs at a restaurant by Taq-e Bostan called Bishe.

PATHS LESS TRAVELED
In the late summer of 2022 I embarked on an epic road trip around Iran, during a time of unrest as protests escalated across the country.
Covering around 6200km over 24 days, I was able to see this incredible country in a way that many are not fortunate enough to see, and to record my experiences in a way that has not been done before.
Safety concerns meant that I had to limit my filming on occasion, and stay well away from any signs of the troubles going on.
However, what I did see was an incredible insight. Some of the most wonderful and welcoming people, incredible history and culture, and mind blowing food.
Paths Less Traveled - Iran is my story of my experiences, put in an in-depth series of Iran travel vlogs.

I am from Xaneqîn, Iraq (Khanaqin) and here we speak the Kalhori dialect too just like in Kirmaşan and I have a lot of family and relatives living in Kirmaşan whenever I go there I just feel like I'm at home it's my favorite city of all Kurdistan ❤️
Proud to be Kurdish 🟩☀️🟥✌️✌️✌️
Hello and courtesy
I am very happy that you traveled to my city, Kermanshah. I hope it will be a good memory for you. There are many historical monuments here
Thank you, I wish I could have been there in better times
As a foreigner, it's definitely a wise decision for you to avoid protesting areas. Your guide needs to be more aware of these situations... Hope you enjoyed your stay and had a safe trip.
Absolutely, he was great though and we kept it safe. Internet was down in the main so the only way to find out what was happening was on the ground
British spy, yae?
Wy not protest with Kurds when you are in Kurdistan so you can feel the pain of the Kurds that want Weopen and independet🤣 A taste of prison 🤣
@@jahneychriast2141 🤣🤣
Kermashan and Ilam (the province right below) are inhabited by Kurds speaking the southern dialect of Kurdish (feyli/kalhori/laki). It is too bad you got there during the times of protests, as the region has so much more fascinating things to see and do. Hope you get to visit the area again.
Unfortunate timing certainly but I still had an amazing experience. Certainly hope I can return some day
Tankyou perfect ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love your Iranian tours. Only way for some of us to experience Iran through your videos.
Thank you, I’m sure it’s true for many who would not otherwise see Iran

Hey Chris, love your Iran vlogs.
I hope that during your stay in Iran you managed to visit the northern parts of the country by the Caspian sea as well.
Cheers

the great kurd city of kermanshah , bravo kurdestan
Kermashan = Kurdistan ❤
مارو که کیر کردستانم حساب نمیکنن حروم زاده ها فقط بخاطر اینکه شیعه هستیم انگار نگاردما مثل سنندجیم فقط بخاطر شرایط مالس شهرمون وضعمون تبدیل به این شده
bravo kurds of kermanshah , kurdestan
I notice that the landscape area is yellow opposite to kurdistan region and turkey.
Hi chris.. just so u know that thing u tried that u said was cheesey is used for food not to just eat by itself i dont know why that guy didnt explain it to you.. its an ingredient for foods like ash soup
Haha yeah, he was probably just messing with me for fun!
lol I meant lur not our , dunno why the post got changed .
Come here again !
You came at bad time
Come again and see how beautiful is our city❤

I hope that Kurdistan will liberate one day and i would visit this beautiful city and roam around freely ❤. Greeting from Efrin 💚🤍☀🤍❤
get a life lol
hello mr. what is your camera ? is it sony?
It’s a GoPro 10, supplemented with my iPhone for close ups. I keep it super light weight for travel
@@ChrisKermis very good
@@ChrisKermis i live in yazd ( iran) i see your video in for yazd in your chanel its very good
When your tour guide doesn't know what he is talking about... "dey are fehrum Lur tribes" ... Aleshtaris are Lak, not Lur. Two different ethnic groups with different languages.
Everyone makes mistakes but he's still a great guy. Thanks for clearing this up though!
Aleshtar is not Kermanshah
The people of Iran are different from the mullahs, and they are fighting against the dictatorship government of the Islamic Republic of Mullahs

Kurdish city
Kirmashan paytaxt kûrdi
aim todi olkamto isidh krmansah
Again lurs are two types , aryan and non aryan who founded bigger civilisations in Iran and iraq and even Anatolia , and there is a nomad lur one that i suspect to be lurs because those guys not look like aryan and non aryan lurs , but being nomad who never founded a civilisation until today , so those nomad are not lurs , but immigrants .
Again kermanshah is not Kurdish but kalhur , kalhur is a lak lur type either , guys Kurds and Persians are myths as races , Kurds and Persians are Greek names on older lurs fighters , other races used those names , for example , medians first ever king was born in hamdan ( lur aryan lands ) and he moved to other places and even reached north of Iraq , so everyone who followed medians called Kurds after thousand of a year because those Soranni badinani were not found at that time , look at sorrani badenani faces who not look like Kalhurs faylee laks , plus they not tall as kalhur lak lurs .we have two kinds of lurs , 1 native iranian from Iran non aryan one , 2 aryan lur ( lak faylee kalhur) who joint native lurs in bc time and their origin is from Russia , by the way faylee are millions in Iraq either who live in Baghdad and saddam attacked them and they revenged against saddam in 1980s and after 2003 , those lur and aryan lurs are native iranian and Iraqi either because faylee lurs in Iraq we’re kish Babylonian and ruled Iraq for over 500 years and they founded Baghdad and today Baghdad is faylee word , they founded Abbasid state in Iraq today and kootians and shared with aryan sumerians . But richest aryan lurs are faylee , the proof others think them Jews while they not , the reason because those faylee ours who founded the economy of Iraq in 1920s and two biggest markets of Iraq were found by Faylee lurs , in short , ours and aryan ours are millions in Iraq and 10s of millions in Iran
dont life with dream
@@kardoviyan3898 tell me your race in iran and I will show you who is dreaming
Those explains are not valid .because some historian man in this area and another foreign historian man (idont remember his name)said people in Kermanshah are Kurd .and the language in kalhor people is Kurdish and have neighbourhood with sourani language
Stop spreading propaganda, we know who we are, the likes of you and Turks will distort history to suit your agenda. Am Kurdish from Afrin currently occupied by Syria and have Kurdish acient art of the sun, our religion on old Medes ruins way before history thieves like you are claiming us to be.
