Kurdish Authors Union Day is observed in Iraqi Kurdistan every February 10. This day celebrates the history and culture of the Kurdish people, particularly focusing on Kurdish literature, which encompasses works written in various Kurdish dialects, including Kurmanji and Sorani. The Kurdish Authors Union, established on February 10, 1970, plays a significant role in promoting Kurdish literature and language. Notable Kurdish poets such as Ali Hariri and Ahmad Khani, who wrote in the Kurmanji dialect, are recognized for their contributions to Kurdish literature. The development of Sorani literature gained momentum in the late 18th century, supported by the Iraqi government through initiatives like the Kurdish Academic Council, established in 1970. This observance highlights the importance of literary heritage among the Kurdish community.
