Kurdistan:

Kurdistan is a geo-cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Kurdish people. It spans across parts of four modern-day countries: southeastern Turkey (Northern Kurdistan), northern Syria (Western Kurdistan or Rojava), northern Iraq (Southern Kurdistan), and western Iran (Eastern Kurdistan). Though not an independent country, Kurdistan holds a strong cultural and national identity.

The Kurdistan Region in Iraq is an officially recognized autonomous region, with its own government (the Kurdistan Regional Government - KRG), parliament, and security forces.

The Kurdish People

The Kurds are an ethnic group with their own distinct language, culture, music, clothing, and traditions. They speak several dialects of the Kurdish language, primarily Kurmanji and Sorani. The Kurdish population is estimated at around 30-40 million people, making them one of the largest stateless ethnic groups in the world.

Culture and History

Kurdistan is rich in history, with roots going back thousands of years. The Kurdish people have contributed to the region’s culture, arts, and resistance movements. Despite facing oppression and political challenges throughout history, Kurds continue to preserve their identity and seek greater cultural and political rights.
