How can you have a Kurdistan visa?

Kurdistan is not an independent nation, it is rather a name used to classify an area which is mainly inhabited by Kurds. Since it is not a country or nation there is no requirement for a visa to visit that area. Apply for a visa of the nation(s) that you are visiting. The one exception to the above is for Iraqi Kurdistan, which, because of its relative autonomy, has a VISA system that is distinct from the Iraqi VISA system. Depending on your nation of origin, you may be able to get a VISA-on-arrival or you may need to apply for an Iraqi Kurdistan VISA from your local Iraqi Embassy. Please see the below link for more information on this.


Why does Kurdistan as a state no longer exist?

Due to this being a controversial subject, there are different point of views to the correct answer. Here are two examples of answers.Answer 1 (Turkish/Iraqi/Syrian/Iranian/Armenian a.k.a. the ruling states of that area's point of view)There was never a state called Kurdistan. It was a name given by states and empires to describe an area in the Middle-East which is mainly inhabited by Kurds, but there was never a state called Kurdistan.Answer 2 (Kurdish point of view)There has been no modern nation of Kurdistan for any extended period of time, but the region was well-known in an unofficial capacity for centuries. The Ardalan Kurdish State existed from 959-1117 C.E. in parts of what is currently called Iranian Kurdistan and Iraqi Kurdistan. As a result, there is a historic Kurdish State. However, it was overrun by the Seljuks. Regardless, by the late 1400s, the region of Kurdistan had several quasi-autonomous Kurdish statelets that remained vassals of larger more powerful neighbors.However, the first major division of the region of Kurdistan occurred in the early 1500s when the Safavids of Iran and Ottomans of Turkey created a border that separated Iranian Kurdistan permanently from Turkish/Iraqi/Syrian Kurdistan. With the Fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman government capitulated to Allies at the end of World War I and signed the Treaty of Sèvres in 1919, which, among other things, granted the right for an independent Kurdistan. However, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk overthrew the Ottoman government and established the modern Republic of Turkey. He successfully opposed the Greek forces on the Anatolian mainland and prevented the realization of a new Kurdish state in the east. Thus in 1923, the Treaty of Sèvres was abrogated by the Treaty of Lausanne and Kurdistan was further divided by the creation of the French Mandate of Syria and the British Mandate of Iraq. This is how Kurdistan as a region was taken apart and reconquered.(Please see the discussion section as there are some discrepancies in the answers)


Which punctuation best completes this sentence?

i would say a question mark if there wasnt already one there completing it perfectlybut perhaps a second question mark is warranted in that case


Should Kurdistan be an independent country?

As this is a should question, you may get different answers.Answer 1: YESKurdistan should become a country in the vein of ethnic nationalism that we saw in the 19th century. Like the Greeks and Bulgarians that sought indepedence from the Ottoman Empire because of rampant discrimination and a unique cultural identity from their imperial overlords, the Kurds have suffered rampant discrimination (especially the Al-Anfal Campaign - which is a genocide) and retain a unique cultural identity. They are the majority ethnicity over a large portion of land, which would make the country viable. The only problem is that it would be a landlocked country. However, the Kurds deserve the right to be monitors and defenders of their culture when their "host nations" of Turkey Iraq, Iran, and Syria have all consistently shown their unwillingness to treat Kurds as equal citizens. On the flip side, because of the Iraq War of 2003-2011 and the Syrian Civil War of 2011-Present, Iraqi Kurdistan and Syrian Kurdistan have effectively become de facto independent regions.Answer 2: NOKurdistan would have huge problems with all of its neighbors from day 1 already (as it took their lands). This would destabilize the Middle-East even more than it already is and result in a lot of human suffering, and possibly even a huge war.[Please also see the Discussion Section on this question.]


If the concluding sentence in a story is a question do you put the question mark first or the speech mark?

the exclamation mark then the speech mark "will we ever see him again?"
