AFP The Kurds are a stateless ethnic group with a significant presence across the Middle East, long accustomed to navigating the region's volatile geopolitics. While there are no official census figures, largely because they lack an independent state and are dispersed across international borders, estimates suggest their global population ranges between 25 million and 45 million. The vast majority reside in the mountainous regions spanning parts of western Iran, eastern Turkey, northern Iraq, Syria, and Armenia.
