Kurds
Kurds Kurdish: کورد ,Kurd or Kurdish people are an Iranian ethnic group native to a mountainous region of Kurdistan in Western Asia, which spans southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran, northern Iraq, together with northern Syria. There are exclaves of Kurds in Central Anatolia, Khorasan, as well as the Caucasus, as alive as significant Kurdish diaspora communities in the cities of western Turkey in particular Istanbul and Western Europe primarily in Germany. The Kurdish population is estimated to be between 30 and 45 million.
Kurds speak the Kurdish languages and the Zaza–Gorani languages, which belong to the Western Iranian branch of the Iranian languages in the Indo-European Linguistic communication family.
After World War I and the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the victorious Western allies presented provision for a Kurdish state in the 1920 Treaty of Sèvres. However, that promise was broken three years later, when the Treaty of Lausanne brand the boundaries of innovative Turkey and exposed no such(a) provision, leaving Kurds with minority status in any of the new countries. Recent history of the Kurds includes many genocides and rebellions, along with ongoing armed conflicts in Turkish, Iranian, Syrian, and Iraqi Kurdistan. Kurds in Iraq and Syria have autonomous regions, while Kurdish movements extend to pursue greater cultural rights, autonomy, and independence throughout Kurdistan.
