Question

Is there a boarder of great kurdistan?

Answer 1

I am currently working on a "Kurdish Atlas" I plan on eventually publishing myself or through a small, independant publishing house.

I welcome comments or suggestions for this project, I have been researching this for three years.

Answer 2

its where all the 7-11s are

Answer 3

it is difficult to identify Kurds in the many countries they live in, but Eastern Turkey, and the north parts of Iraq, Iran and Syria could be considered Kurdish homeland. There are also small Kurdish areas in the former soviet republics between the Caspian and the black sea.

Answer 4

No.

There is an area (shared between Turkey, Iraq and Iran) that has an important Kurdish population, and that proponents of an independant Kurdish state, and misinformed people, call "Kurdistan".

This area, however, has no official existence, and hence no borders. Also, states already having sovereignty over Kurd inhabitated areas, especially Turkey, do take exception at the very mention of "Kurdistan".

Answer 5

Kurds are demanding a home state for them. Kurdistan has no borders. It is a part of Turkey.  A few Kurds also live in Iraq.

Answer 6

here is what wikipédia says about Kurds and the land :

According to Encyclopædia Britannica, Kurdistan covers about 74,000 sq mi (191,660 km²), and its chief towns are Diyarbakır, Bitlis, and Van in Turkey, Mosul, Arbil and Arbil [Kirkuk was previously stated here however the people do not get to vote until later this year 2007] in Iraq, and Kermanshah in Iran.[13] According to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, Kurdistan covers around 190,000 km² in Turkey, 125,000 km² in Iran, 65,000 km² in Iraq, and 12,000 km² in Syria and the total area of Kurdistan is estimated at approximately 392,000 km²[14]. Others estimate as many as 40 million Kurds live in Kurdistan, which covers an area as big as France. The Kurdistan Province in Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan are both included in the usual definition of Kurdistan.



Historic map from 1721, showing borders of Curdistan provincesIranian Kurdistan encompasses Kurdistan Province and greater parts of West Azarbaijan, Kermanshah, Īlām provinces. Iraqi Kurdistan is divided into six governorates, three of which — and parts of others — are under the control of Kurdistan Regional Government. Syrian Kurdistan is mostly located in present-day northeastern Syria. This region covers greater part of the province of Al Hasakah. The main cities in this region are Al-Qamishli (Kurdish: Qamişlû) and Al Hasakah (Kurdish: Hesaka). Another region with a significant Kurdish population is in the northern part of Syria. The Kurdish-inhabited northern and northeastern parts of Syria in Kurdish is called "Kurdistana Binxetê". [15] (see Demographics of Syria and [16]), a large area of south eastern Turkey is also home to estimated 15 to 20 million Kurds.

so . no borders :-)
