Can you put maps about Kurds and Kurdistan ?

Yeah, sure;

I remember you started a thread about this a while ago in which you posted these maps:

Originally posted by opuslola Funny isn't it, just how many ways just one old place can be spelled? I have already proposed that the word "Kurd" is descriptive of the main diet of those people who inhabited the area! Perhaps, I should have written "Curd?" As in "Curds and Whey?" Can you, for instance, show me that I am wrong? Regards,

Sorry, but that doesn’t make any sense. It is just a name. People don’t ask why we call some people of Iberian Peninsula Portuguese and their land Portugal. And where did the name ‘Iberian’ come from? Why do we call Sun Sun and why blue is blue and green is green?

Please Attention

*Ignoration of Kurds entity in Anatolia is a sample of extreme Turkish nationalism
*Try to show more huge Kurdistan and more Kurdish population than reality are also samples of extreme Kurdish nationalism.

Minorities want to be seen bigger, Majorities want to see them more smaller

example map of extreme Kurdish nationalism;

Modern Kurdistan

According to USA military, but this map also shows bigger kurdistan than reality, Tabriz(Iran Azeris city) and Artvin(black sea cost) which is definately unrelated with Kurdish culture or historical Kurdistan are in Kurdistan)


one of the major factor of North Kurdistan/Turkish Kurdistan is Zaza people, are they Kurd or not? I know some Zaza who hate call as Kurd

Political Maps about Kurds in Turkey

The biggest map, general election 2002. darkgreen(I don't know how can I call that colour)-seperated dark green province is Zaza land.

Last election 2011-Zaza people not always have same political perspective(now they are red) with Kurds and also about north side of political kurdish movement is not located in always so north. Light green party is turkish nationalist party.
