PanARMENIAN.Net – There is no single Kurdish nation; there are
separate Kurdish tribes, Armenian expert in Kurdish studies said.
As Garnik Asatryan told a press conference, Turkish and Iraqi Kurds
differ from one another due to difference in languages, thus making
the unification of Kurds quite a problematic issue.
`The U.S. has invested significant resources in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Turkey, acknowledging it, continues implementation of ousting Kurdish
movement leaders from Turkey to Iraq, where tensions between the Iraqi
and Turkish Kurds escalate,’ the expert said, adding that the Kurdish
population in Iraq totals about 4 mln., with 3-3,5 Kurds residing in
Iran, 2 mln. in Syria and about 8-9 in Turkey.
