Kurds are one of the oldest and largest ethnic groups in the world. For many centuries they lived in the Middle Eastern region called Kurdistan. Today, Kurds are represented in four states of the Middle East region and have been fighting for autonomy and independence for many years. The Kurdish problem became active in international politics in the 19th century, which led to the beginning of national liberation movements in the world and the involvement of European states in Middle Eastern politics. Consequently, it became an international issue. After the end of the WWI, despite certain changes in overall discourse the Kurds were dispersed within the borders of the four states of the region, and it was from this period that the foundations of their active national liberation movements in individual countries were laid, which are still endless and fruitless.
