Thier territory is devided between 5 sovereign states: Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. They speak widely different dialects and are also devided by religious affiliations and social factors. Compared to the other Kurds, only the Iraqi Kurds were achieved some of their goals ofautonomy, becausethey revolted several times against the Iraqi central government, but thier problem and thier considerable geo-political importance, have pushed United States to intervene in the Kurdish question during 1972-1975. Furthermore, United States intervention aimed at achieving Cold War strategies in the Middle East region and weakening the relationship between Iraq and the Soviet Union. In this regard, United States were utilized the Kurds through two proxies, Iran and Israel to destabilize the Iraqi regime, whose building important relationship with the Soviet Union. Despite American promises of support to the Kurds, Iran's interests overrode the support to the Kurdish issue which pushed the US to betray the Kurds in 1975. | ar |
