considered as seperate from the Turkish, Iraqi and Iranians.
------------------------------------------
The Semi-Autonomous Region of Iraqi Kurdistan is the only officially recognised area with the name Kurdistan and is ruled partly from Baghdad and partly by the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) from Erbil. The Kurds and their international supporters call the Kurdish parts of Turkey, Syria and Iran by the name Kurdistan too, though these are not recognised by the governments of those countries (in fact they are quite hostile to the name) or by the UN.

∙ 9y agoKurdistan is a term applied to regions of southeast Turkey, northeast Syria, northern Iraq, and northwest Iran in reference to the Kurdish ethnic majority who live on that land. The Kurds, by and large, want independence from their host nations and to create an independent republic on these majority Kurdish lands. The closest to this are the Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistans which have become de facto independent as a result of the Iraqi Civil War (between the government and ISIL) and the Syrian Civil War.

How do you go tour Kurdistan?
In the case of Turkish and Iranian Kurdistan, you get VISAS to those nations and then proceed to go to the Kurdish-majority regions. In the case of Iraqi Kurdistan, you get a special VISA to visit Iraqi Kurdistan from the Iraqi Embassy or upon arrival in Iraqi Kurdistan (if you are a national from certain countries and are arriving in Iraqi Kurdistan from somewhere other than Iraq). In the case of Syrian Kurdistan, it is currently STRONGLY discouraged to go to Syrian Kurdistan. Although it is among the safest areas in Syria, that is not saying much.
