actually that seems accurate.  turkey definetly has the most to lose if the kurds seperate, that kind of sucks for them! they would lost about half of their country.

Does anybody have any other maps for comparison.

what are you talking about?

im just pointing out that if kurds did make their own nations, turks would lost half of their country, which sucks!

actually, do i want kurds to seperate? NO.

That map exaggerates Kurdish areas in Republic Turkey.

Malizai: It's quite accurate. Though not the Armenian part...

But all maps that shows Kurdish populations are not 100 % accurate.

They don't speak enough about the Kurds, because we have never taken hostages, never hijacked a plane. But I am proud of this.

It is accurate as far as my knowledge goes, though I am also not sure of Armenia.

Istanbul has more Kurds than Diyarbakr or Urfa.

So seperation from Turkish state or a federal structure is impossible.

Turkey has rather a homogeneous population.

Thats the first time I am seeing any map showing population of Kurds, very good topic dear malizai, and as I say this topic I a bit searched about it and come up with an answer that your map is almost (90-95%) accurate but still I really don't know about what others think.
Excellent job done!

That bunch of Kurds in Eastern Iran are from teh Karabakh region, in case anyone is intersted to know how they ended up there, Shah Abbas moved them after he defeated them when they resisted the conversion to Shiism, as Sunnis, they were inclined to side witht eh Ottomans.

Arta, that map is wrong, Arabs are no way that widespread in iran, for example it is saying that they populate half of my Ostan, which is totally untrue.

The map is old and from the Soviet period. I wouldn't expect it to be 100% correct, especially if those Arabs are being assimilated in Iran.

That map has got to be wrong...why is it showing a Kurdish population of 30-75% in Russia, Israel, Georgia, Cyprus...am I understanding the map correctly?

You're looking at the wrong shade of green.
