Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Kurds were not given their own homeland, which has left the Kurdish people vulnerable to extreme persecution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children were executed during a systematic attempt to exterminate the Kurdish population in Iraq in the Anfal operations in the late 1980s. They were tied together and shot so they fell into mass graves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus at the end of 1925, the country of the Kurds, known since the XIIth century by the name “Kurdistan", found itself divided between four states: Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. And for the first time in its long history, it was even to be deprived of its cultural autonomy.
