More Definitions of Kurdistan

Kurdistan broadly means the territory inhabited by the Kurds as a homogeneous community. It is divided between Turkey, Iraq and Iran, with small overlaps into Armenia and Syria; thus, its boundaries do not coincide with any international frontiers or internal administrative divisions, and even within generally Kurdish areas, there were pockets of Assyrians, Armenians and Turks. According to the League of Nations Commission in 1925, the number of Kurds in Iraq was estimated at 500,000. Today the figure is about 4 to 5 million.2
