Background
The Kurds are the largest minority group in the world without their own country. They make up considerable percentages of the populations of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. Many Kurds hope someday to create a country of their own, but for now they have varying degrees of autonomy in the nations they reside in.
