Kurdish movement

The Kurdish Movement refers to the various efforts by the Kurdish people, an ethnic group primarily found in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, to gain greater autonomy, cultural rights, and political recognition. Historically marginalized, Kurds seek to preserve their language and culture while advocating for political representation and self-determination. The movement has led to conflicts, particularly in Turkey, where Kurdish groups have fought for their rights. It is also significant in Iraq, where Kurds have achieved autonomy with the Kurdistan Regional Government. The movement embodies the broader struggles of indigenous and ethnic minorities for identity and rights.
