The Kurds, are divided between Turkey to the north, Iran to the east, Iraq to the South syria to the south-west
and Armenia with Azerbeijan to the north east. The exact population of the Kurds is unknown, because most of the countries occupying Kurdistan, do not recognise
the Identity of the Kurds and are not allowing any statistics of their population. but the number is estimated at about 31 millions. The Kurds were promised their own
state in the 1920 Treaty of Sevres, which carved up the Ottoman Empire after its defeat in World War I. But Turkey subsequently forced a renegotiation of the treaty,
leaving the Kurds as a nation without a state. The Kurds are the biggest nation in the world without an independant country. they face genocide and ethnic cleansing
by the hand of their oppressors. The jubillant ruling eras of the Kurds are in three different periods. The time that the Medians ruled in the area including persia and
assyria. Then when Salahaddin Ayyubi under the flag of Islam ruled the Muslim world. And in the recent years in the aftermath of Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, iwhere the
Kurds led a huge and heroic uprising against their bitter Occupier saddam Hussein. Some %70 of the Southern part (Iraq) is liberated and declared as a confederated r
egion within Iraq. the Kurds in northern Kurdistan are currently, most suffering by the hands of the Turkish Fascist State which has the backing of Americans, Israeli's
and some European Countries.
