Many Kurdish politicians enjoyed the concert, including the Kurdish president Massoud Barzani, former leader of the banned pro-Kurdish DTP party Ahmet Turk, former DTP MP Aysel Tugluk, Sirri Sakik of the new pro-Kurdish BDP-party, Dengir Mir Firat and Gulsen Orhan of the ruling AKP-party. The Austrian president Heinz Fisher also gave a speech and said he was sad that the Kurdish question wasn’t solved yet and hoped that Kurds will get all their freedoms to enjoy their culture and speak their mother language. The AKP MP Dengir Mir Mehmet Firat told after the concert that he hopes Sivan Perwer returns to Turkey. Ahmet Türk agreed. Türk said he travelled not only to Vienna to listen to the Music of Perwer, but also to hear the ‘voice of pain of our Kurdish people’ embodied by Sivan Perwer
