The Future of Kurdistan discussion
Kurdistan, a mountainous region made up of parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Armenia and Syria, is home to one of the largest ethnic groups in West Asia: the Kurds. Most in the West know them for their small, oil-rich autonomous region in northern Iraq called Iraqi Kurdistan — one of the United States’ closer allies in the Middle East and a bulwark against the expansion of the so-called Islamic State. What does the success of Iraqi Kurdistan mean for Kurds in the surrounding region? Find out in this great discussion, hosted by Larry Fuell as part of the Global Issues and US Foreign Policy discussion series.
