| Kurdish people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4445 words) |
 | Kurds are primarily found in mountainous areas and highlands in Southwest Asia, specifically in Zagros and Taurus mountain ranges, which includes parts of Iran, Turkey, and Iraq, as well as smaller sections of Syria, Armenia and Lebanon. |
| These Kurds, who have no claim to a nationality other than Syrian, are literally trapped in Syria: not only are they treated in a discriminatory fashion in the land of their birth, but also they do not have the option of relocating to another country because they lack passports or other internationally recognized travel documents. |
| Kurds with "foreigner" status, as they are called, do not have the right to vote in elections or referenda, or run for public office. |
