	Kurdistan - LoveToKnow 1911
		Meanwhile southern Kurdistan, led by Sheikh Mahmud, the son of Sheikh Said, continued in a state of rebellion, in which the two most active tribes were the Jaf and the Hamawand.
		Early in 1917 the Russians further alienated Kurdish sympathy by brutal treatment of the population of Khaniqin and the Shilyar valley in southern Kurdistan.
		Since the future status of Kurdistan had not been determined at that time by the League of Nations, those portions of it which fell south of the northern boundary of the Mosul vilayet were directed from Bagdad.

	Independent South Kurdistan after 15 years of Self-Rule Book Review - "Independent South Kurdistan" by Steve ...
		Kurdistan was scheduled to be an Independent country of its own together with a few other nations on the listed nations of the drafted treaty of Sevres being implemented by the League of Nations to bring peace, security, and stability in the post ottoman empire era.
		What we must focus on now; is to declare and recognize an Independent South Kurdistan as quickly as possible before it is later than the three years gone by, and before we cause further tensions, and possible clashes between Kurds and Arabs in Kirkuk, the inseparable part of Kurdistan.
		Once we have an official Independent South Kurdistan, then we may focus on the remainder of the task, which appears to be the lack of security in the Arab provinces.

		In far southern Kurdistan, both in Iraq and Iran, in an area from Shehreban to Dínewer, Hemedan, Kirmashan, and Xanekin, all the way to Mendelí, Pehle, Southern Kurdish Dialects group predominates.

		With the avalanche of the Southern Kurdish refugees, nearly all speakers of Central Kurdish Dialects group, into eastern and southern Kurdistan (Kurdistan in Iran), the process of Southern Kurdish Dialects group dilution and assimilation has been hastened tremendously.

		Kurdistan consists basically of the mountainous areas of the central and northern Zagros, the eastern one-third of the Taurus and Pontus, and the northern half of the Amanus ranges.
		Drawing of well-guarded state boundaries dividing Kurdistan has, since 1921, afflicted Kurdish society with such a degree of fragmentation, that its impact is tearing apart the Kurds' unity as a nation.
		Northern and western Kurdistan were to be given choice of independence by the Treaty of Sevres(August 10, 1920) which dismantled the defunct Ottoman Empire, but instead they were awarded to the newly established Republic of Turkey under the term of the Treaty of Lausanne (June 24, 1923).
