Which of the following is a minority ethnic group in several countries despite occupying a large area of the region? a. jews b. persians c. kurds d. turks

C. Kurds

Aproximately 30 million people in the middle east are Kurds, they don't have an official country or homeland. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the first World War they strech over four  countries  and its borders namely: (Turkey, Iraq, Syria and its neighbour Iran) The area is a huge mountanious region. Kurdish peoples have sought authonomy, unsucessfully.
