The kurds are a distinct ethnic group, speaking their own ancient language, kurdish, and are presently distributed across areas of northwest Iran, northeast iraq, syria, eastern turkey and armenia. In some areas they constitute the majority or totality of the population, while in others they form significant minorities. The kurds have been in the region since recorded history began. They are the medes of the greek historian herodotus in the fifth century bc and were one of the satrapal (vassal) peoples of the achaemenid empire. They were promised their own state in the treaty of versailles, but have never been united into a single sovereign political entity. less
