Kurdish Nationalism
Kurdish nationalism () is a nationalist political movement which asserts that Kurds are a nation and espouses the creation of an independent Kurdistan from Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Early Kurdish nationalism had its roots in the Ottoman Empire, within which Kurds were a significant ethnic group.

Kurdish nationalist movements have long been suppressed by Turkey and in the states of Iran, Iraq, and Syria.

The Kurdish–Turkish conflict, where Kurdish armed groups have fought against the state, has been ongoing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
