Kurdish Diaspora: present and future

Currently there are around 40 million Kurds in the world, living mainly on the territories historically divided between Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

Due to historical reasons Kurds don't have their own state, which is a determining factor for them in the development of their statehood.

One of the main tragedies of Kurdish people is their separation. The opposition of parties and movements doesn't allow the whole people to unite. The first step on the way towards unification was an establishment of the parliament of Kurdistan in exile in the beginning of 1995.

Defending the right of a nation for self-determination Kurds have established in 1999 the National Congress of Kurdistan with a headquarters in Brussels. The main target of this association is an establishment of a sovereign state of Kurdistan.
