Pls.tell me what can u say about the country/(region?) Kurdistan?

Question

In what continent i can find this,is this a country or a region? Serious answers only pls.!

Answer 1

At this time, there really is no country of Kurdistan. Kurdistan is the name of the country that a number of Kurdish citizens in Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and Iran have attempted to form, an attempt to restore Καρδούχοι, a country which existed a couple thousand years ago, then divided into various Kurdish regision, and eventually was split in wars during the 16th century.

The closest thing to Kurdistan today is the Kurdish region of Iraq, which is relatively independent and has been for a number of years. Many of the surrounding Kurdish populations want to annex the places in which they live to this Iraqi Kurdistan, so that there is one Kurdish state, rather than small Kurdish regions in neighbouring countries.

The U.S. actually promised the Kurds in Iraq independence, but also promised the Turkish government that Kurds would not be granted independence. It is difficult to tell what will happen with Iraqi Kurdistan at this point.

As for which continent, Kurdistan is in Asia Minor.

Answer 2

in all possibility...yet perhaps no longer. they're the biggest ethnic team in the international calling for self-decision (a minimum of a few); and the only substantial one left after the top of the Soviet Union (upload to the record the Tibetans, the Palestinians, the Basques, and particular communities in South u.s.). the single difficulty that history has shown is that a human beings desirous to be loose will gain it is going to surely, the Kurds will in all possibility sometime gain independence. it would probably be very no longer ordinary, and regrettably with the present issues and powers in the mid east, in all possibility very violent. EDITED reaction: based at present situation it is going to require a 2nd u . s . of the main 3 (Iraq, Iran, or Turkey) to be pushed right into a political disaster. in case you question me the 2009 Presidential election in Iran will furnish a potential catalyst if the conservatives quit reformists from working back, the consequence will in all possibility be a social and political revolution. this would enable the form of a kurdistan in northern Iraq and Iran that would desire to even probably serve Turkey's hobbies. in spite of the undeniable fact that, as long as Turkey and Iran are thoroughly unwilling they might many times quit the formation of one among those u . s .. in case you question me, 2010 would be Kurdish state introduction based upon the Iranian disaster i think of is possibly and U.S. elections which will decrease U.S. involvement in Iraq.

Answer 3

A dream for the Kurdish people. They have their own lifestyle, language and culture and have been dreaming of their own state for ages.....They're based in a large area that cross many borders but the main problems lie with Turkey and Iraq.

They do have some regional autonomy in Northern Iraq now that Saddam Hussein has been removed.

Look up the PKK and Ochalan and you'll get a lot more information.

Answer 4

It is a region, though I think they are trying to make their own nation.

Kurdistan (meaning "land of the Kurds") is the name of a geographic and cultural region in the Middle East, inhabited predominantly by the Kurds.

Location: Parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria
Estimated Area: ca. 74,000 sq mi (191,660 km²)-392,000 km²
Estimated Population: About 25-30 Million

Hope this helps. :)
