The Kurdistan Newspaper:
O mîrs and aghas! You are mîrs and aghas thanks to Kurds [Kurmanc]. Therefore, you should be considerate of them, help them study [and] learn the sciences and skills. Who would you rule over as mîrs and aghas if Kurds [Kurmanc] vanished? The more Kurds [Kurmanc] become strong and rich; the more their mîrs and aghas become honourable and famous. Therefore, O dignitaries of the Kurds! You should care for the Kurds [Kurmanc] as if they are your children.
Then, O Kurds [Kurdino], you should come to your senses. Alas, if you are not cautious, if you do not wake up, this situation, before long, will befall you too If Moscow sends its soldiers against you, the [Ottoman] state will not come to your aid. The soldiers of Moscow outnumber you; you do not possess the cannons and rifles they do... They will kill twenty of you by the time you kill one of them. I know Kurds are manlier [mêrtir] than Moscow. However, in the face of those cannons and rifles, your manliness will not suffice.
