Kurdistan (Kurdish: /Kurdistan, literally meaning "the land of Kurds", formerly Curdia, Curdistan (Ancient Corduene) is an extensive plateau and mountainous area in the Middle East, inhabited mainly by Kurds. It covers parts of eastern Turkey (Norhern Kurdistan), northern Iraq (Southerni Kurdistan), northwestern Iran (Eastern Kurdistan), Caucasus (North East Kurdistan) and part of northern Syria. It roughly encompasses the Zagros and the eastern Taurus mountain ranges.
