Professor H. I. Pilikian has produced a video clip for YouTube of one of the most melodious of Miss Erce’s protest Songs, with lyrics in two versions – in Kurdish and Turkish, both subtitled in the English language. 

The narrative of the song is based on a true Turkish newspaper story, when a young Kurdish student was arrested and imprisoned in Turkey for merely being at a ... bus-stop, by chance, on the route of a political demonstration.  

The scarf Miss Erce is wearing (the title of her Song Pushi does mean Scarf) in the video clip is a reference to the famous Palestinian fashion-item symbolizing simultaneously the struggle of the Palestinian youth (the Intifada) for freedom and democracy.

Miss Erce’s composition is hauntingly melodious and easily memorable.  One can never have enough of hearing it  many times over ...
