Detailed explanation-1: -Nearly all Iraqi Kurds consider themselves Sunni Muslims. In our survey, 98% of Kurds in Iraq identified themselves as Sunnis and only 2% identified as Shias. (A small minority of Iraqi Kurds, including Yazidis, are not Muslims.) But being a Kurd does not necessarily mean alignment with a particular religious sect.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the Kurds live in contiguous areas of Iran, Iraq, and Turkey-a somewhat loosely defined geographic region generally referred to as Kurdistan (“Land of the Kurds”).
Detailed explanation-3: -Approximately thirty million Kurds live in the Middle East-primarily in Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey-and the Kurds comprise nearly one-fifth of Turkey’s population of seventy-nine million.
