It depends whether you are dividing people by religion or by ethnicity. Roughly 20% of Turkey is ALEVI, a religious minority which is similar to Shiite Sufism and roughly 20% of Turkey is KURDISH, an ethnic minority that lives primarily in southeast Turkey. While there is some overlap, most Alevis are Turks and most Kurds are Sunni. (Most of the rest of Turkey is Sunni Turks.)
The Kurds primarily live in regions known as Kurdistan, which span across parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. However, they do not have an independent nation-state of their own. Instead, they live as a minority group within these countries.
The term minority group refers to any religious or ethnic group that is in a minority in a wider society.
The largest minority group in the US is Latino, and the second largest minority group is African.
