About the Kurds. The 25 million Kurds are the largest ethnicity in the world without a state of its own. Promised-but never granted-their own country after WWI, Kurds now live in parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan.They are almost universally despised for asserting their identity. The government of Turkey spends US$6 billion a year fighting its Kurdish separatists.n Iran Kurds are not allowed to use their Kurdish names. In Turkey, speaking Kurdish even in private was a crime until 1991. Turkey continues to deny that Kurds have a separate ethnic identity-the official storey is that Kurds are Turks who got lost in the mountains and forgot they were Turkish.
