Opinion document: The Kurds

Kurds are an ethnic group going back to the 3000 b.C. and occupy an arch that goes from southeast Turkey to Iran. Always at odds with the two big polities of the zone, Iran and the Sublime Porte, its fate became even more intractable from the moment those territories underwent the transformation into nation states. To fit the kurds into these polities has proved impossible. The author sees with relief the constitution of an autonomous region of Kurdistan in Irak as a possible mean to solve an issue that neither Empires nor States were able to face and fix.
