On the borders of the Turkish and Iranian nation-states
Following the First World War, empires were replaced with nation-states for good and the map of the Middle East was redrawn. Traced back to the final decades of the nineteenth century, Kurdish nationalism did not result in a nation-state in the modern Middle East. Therefore, the Kurds inhabiting the borderlands of the four nation-states of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria came to be perceived as ‘trouble’ by these nation-states. Through the use of a …

It…

Furthermore, the oppression and exploitation of Kurdish peasants at the hands of tribal chiefs, sheikhs and nat…
