		Kurds with "foreigner" status, as they are called, do not have the right to vote in elections or referenda, or run for public office.

	Kurds
		For over a century, many Kurds have been campaigning for the right to their own state, which they would call Kurdistan -- by some accounts the Kurds are the world's largest ethnic group without their own state.
		Kurds and their history are end products of thousands of years of continuous internal evolution and assimila-tion of new peoples and cultures intro-duced sporadically into their land.
		Even though Lausanne dashed the Kurds' hope for inde-pendence for the rest of the 20th century, it saved them from the ethnic cleansing that had been openly planned and partly im-ple-mented by the Armenians in large por-tions of the Kurdish territories scheduled by the Treaty of Sèvres for inclusion in an inde-pendent Armenia.
