Kurdistan (Kurdish region)

Kurdistan refers to the cultural and geographic region predominantly inhabited by Kurds, an ethnic group with their own language, traditions, and history. It spans across parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Although there is no independent Kurdish state, Kurds have distinct national identities and some areas, like Iraqi Kurdistan, enjoy semi-autonomous governance. The region is characterized by its rugged mountains, rich history, and diverse societies. The Kurds have sought greater political recognition and independence over the years, and their region plays a significant role in regional geopolitics due to its strategic location and resources.
