"According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, Kurdistan covers about 74,000 sq mi (191,660 sq km), and its chief towns are Diyarbakir, Bitlis, and Van in Turkey, Mosul and Karkuk (Kirkuk) in Iraq, and Kermanshah in Iran.[9] According to Encyclopaedia of Islam, Kurdistan covers around 190,000 sq km in Turkey, 125,000 sq km in Iran, 65,000 sq km in Iraq, and 12,000 sq km in Syria and the total area of Kurdistan is estimated at approximately 392,000 sq km.[10] Others estimate as many as 40 million Kurds live in Kurdistan, which covers an area as big as France. The Kurdistan Province in Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan are both included in the usual definition of Kurdistan.
Iranian Kurdistan encompasses Kurdistan Province and greater parts of West Azarbaijan, Kermanshah, Ilam Province and smaller parts of Hamadan Province and Lorestan.
Iraqi Kurdistan is divided into 6 governorates which until this time three of them plus parts of other ones are under the control of Kurdistan Regional Government.
Syrian Kurdistan is mostly located in present-day northeastern Syria. This region covers greater part of the province of Al Hasakah. The main cities in this region are Al-Qamishli (or "Qamişlû" in Kurdish) and Al Hasakah (or "Hesaka" in Kurdish). Another region with significant Kurdish population is in the northern part of Syria. The Kurdish-inhabited northern and northeastern parts of Syria in Kurdish is called "Kurdistana Binxetê". [11]. (see Demographics of Syria and [12])."
