Kurdistan means “Land of the Kurds”. Numbering around 32 to 35 million, the Kurds are currently the biggest stateless ethnic group in the world.
Mapping the World goes over this people of distant origins’ plight – as they are being quartered between Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria for historical and geopolitical reasons. Will the great powers’ support to the Kurdish nation mean their success in the struggle against the Islamic State?
