The Kurdish people number about 40 million strong, but are spread out (without an independent homeland) throughout NW Iran, NE Iraq, NE Syria, and a huge chunk of SW Turkey. They are unwanted in every one of those existing nations. It's too bad (for them) that Turkey has been a key US ally, and for most of the last 60+ years, an Israeli ally. Because if the Kurds ever achieve their goal of a homeland, it would primarily be in Turkey. Many borders in the Middle East would have to be redesigned to accommodate a Kurdish nation.
