The term Kurdistan, literally meaning ‘land of the Kurds’, can be traced back to the 12th century, before the existence of the modern-day concept of nation-states. Its borders are not fixed and cross the modern-day states of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey. In addition, today, ‘Kurdistan’ or ‘Kordestan’ are the official names for regions inhabited by Kurds both in Iraq and Iran. Therefore, the term can have different meanings for different people.
