Detailed explanation-1: -Kurdish regions were placed under martial law and the use of the Kurdish language, dress, folklore, and names prohibited. It was this continued repression that led to reemergence of Kurdish nationalism in the 1960s and 1970s.
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: -Kurdish identity, or Kurdayety, means “a shared culture, language, territory, set of symbols, memory and experience, and future political aspirations” (Sheyholislami, 2011, p. 47). Hence, Kurds need to reiterate their shared and distinctive culture and territory along with their past experiences.
