What is Kurdistan?

Answer 1

The Northern geographical part of Iraq whose northern border is Turkey.

The Kurds are historically an independent (fiercely and traditionally) group

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.

Answer 2

Kurdistan 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.

Answer 3

Kurdistan is a region predominantly inhabited by Kurdish people, located in parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. The Kurds are an ethnic group with their own language and cultural heritage, and they have a long history of seeking autonomy or independence for their homeland.
