Sinopsis

Kurdistan is probably one of the hottest geopolitical scenarios in the Middle East. Divided between Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran, this territory isinhabited by more than thirty million people – the world’s largest “nation” without a state – who are a crucial actor in the region. A Fundamental constant in all the Middle East crises, the “Kurd factor” took central stage in the ongoing war against IS. Although the support received fromthe international community in this circumstance seemed promising for Kurd demands for autonomy or independence, questions about a long-term settlement are still unresolved. What new balances would an eventual victory of Kurds over IS create? What are therelationships between the different Kurd communities? How to reach a solution to the knotty Kurdish question able to satisfy all the actorsinvolved, especially Turkey? Will it be possible to outline a common future for the Kurd communities or will they remain tied to the political destinies of the countries they live in? These are just some of the questions that this report tries to answer through contributions fromleading international experts on the Kurdish question.
