The Kurds speak the Kurdish language and they inhabit the mountainous crescent that extends from the Euphrates River in northern Syria and Turkey to the Kermanshah in Iran. This area is generally designated as Kurdistan, although it has neither political nor geographical unity. Kurds live in the nations of Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and the former USSR. The areas of densest settlement are Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. This file includes 12 documents covering prehistoric times to the early 1990s with the majority in the period from 1890-1950
