Kurdish community dinner

Kurdish Community Dinner a Success 

Simon Danczuk was the guest of honour at a dinner on Saturday 17^th November held for members of Rochdale’s Kurdish community. 

The dinner supported by Councillor Imtiaz Ahmed brought everyone together at Pakistan House on Lower Tweedale Street. There was music, socialising and a Kurdish feast. 

Simon Danczuk said: “The Kurdish community make up around 300 residents in Rochdale and it was great to meet so many of them and listen to their experiences. I learnt a lot about Kurdistan and the problems in Northern Iraq and Southern Turkey.” 

Simon continued: “We all had a great time and the Kurdish food was excellent! I think Councillor Imtiaz Ahmed and Ghulam Shahzad did an excellent job in bringing everyone together, it’s a real credit to them both that they are involving people from all different communities.” 

Ghulam Shahzad said: “It was nice to meet so many members of the Kurdish community and everyone had a good time. I don’t think they get many chances to socialise and this was a good way of bringing everyone together and learning more about each others cultures.”
