The Kurdish ethnic group is the largest ethnic group in the world, which to this day remains without its own country. The population is scattered among four countries: Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria, where they are recognized as a minority or have occupied an autonomous territory (Rojava in Syria and Kurdistan in Iraq).
Due to political forces, economic reasons, cultural crossroads and a complex history of division, assimilation, migration, lost identities, persecution and even massacres and genocides, the Kurds are left without their own state of Kurdistan, promised to them in the 1920 Sèvres Peace Treaty.
