Kurdish Timeline 7th century- The Kurds conquered by the Arabs, centuries of living under the rule of others. 1923- Turkey no longer obligated to grant Kurdish autonomy. The Treaty of Lausanne divides the Kurdish region among Turkey, Iraq, and Syria. 1925- A Kurdish uprising against the new Turkish Republic is suppressed.

Timeline (cont.) 1946- The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) founded by Iraqi Kurd Mustafa Barzani, dedicated to the creation of independent Kurdistan. 1961- Kurds of northern Iraq revolt against the government of Abdul Karim Kassim, continue fighting for decades. 1970- Peace agreement signed between the Iraqi government and Kurds of northern Iraq, allowing the Kurds some control.

Timeline (cont.) 1974- KDP attacks Iraqi troops after government refuses to give control of oil-rich province of Kirkuk, traditional Kurdish territory. 1978- In Turkey, Abdullah Ocalan helps create Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK to seek Kurdish independence. 1979- Iran’s Islamic revolution sparks Kurdish revolt in Iran that is quickly abolished by Iran.

Timeline (cont.) 1984- Thousands of Kurds in southeast Turkey join revolt, nationalism and dissatisfaction with living conditions. 1988- Iraq retaliates against Kurds for supporting Iran during Iran-Iraq war and through “al-Anfal” (“spoils of war”) campaign, slaughters thousands of civilians, takes 1.5 million from their homes. Thousands flee to Turkey.

Timeline (cont.) 1991- Iraq’s Kurds rise up against Saddam Hussein, encouraged by the United States. Iraqi Kurds now control a 15,000-square-mile autonomous region in northern Iraq populated by 3 million Kurds. 1991- Kurdish remains illegal in schools, political setting and broadcasts.

Timeline (cont.) 1993- Turkish government grants limited autonomy to Kurds, Kurdish political parties continue to be banned. 1998- PUK’s Talabani and the KDP’s Barzani sign peace agreement, ending four-year war between rival Iraqi-Kurd factions. 1999- Abdulla Ocalan captured, convicted of treason and separatism, and sentenced to death. Immediately spurs rash of bombings, other terrorist attacks both in Turkey and abroad.

Timeline (cont.) 2002- Iraqi Kurdish regional parliament meets for first time in six years, real sign of unity between Iraqi-Kurdish factions since four-year (1994-1998) war. 2003- Kurds join U.S. and British forces in defeating Saddam Hussein’s regime.

Location The Kurd’s struggle for a homeland has been in the recent news. Originally were pastoralists, nomads living in the mountains of modern-day Kurdistan. Kurds at one point were Karduchi, an ancient mountainous people.

The Kurdish Rebellions Led by Mullah Mustafa al-Barzani, the Kurds revolt against parts of Iraq, Iran, and Turkey. This causes years of attempting to create an autonomous Kurdish state. Leads to the creation of a Kurdish nation in northern Iraq and the destruction of the Iraqi regime of Premier Abdul Karim Kassim.
