Why are the Kurds at conflict with the Shiites and Sunnis? ?

Iraq is a country somewhat larger in area than California. Most of Iraq's 25 million people are Muslims, whether they are Shiites, Sunnis, or Kurds. The Shiites and Sunnis are ethnically Arabs (that is, they speak Arabic and share a common culture). Kurds are not Arabs; they have their own culture and language. Most Kurds are Sunni Muslims.

After the Gulf War, American and British planes enforced a "no-fly" zone over northern Iraq, where most of the approximately five million Kurds live. This protection enabled the Kurds, under their own democratically elected leaders, to establish a good deal of independence that continues to this day. The Kurds' two main political parties, once in conflict with each other, now share power. Kurds supported and fought with American forces to overthrow Saddam Hussein. They favor a mostly secular government.

Millions of other Kurds live in mostly contiguous, mountainous areas of Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Armenia. Turkey, on Iraq's northern border, is especially concerned about growing Kurdish power in Iraq and its effect on the 20 percent of its own population who are Kurds. They fear the possibility that Kurds will launch a concerted effort to form a separate Kurdish nation. The Turkish government does not recognize Kurds as a minority group, has outlawed the use of the Kurdish language, and adopted other policies that Kurds regard as discriminatory. A Kurdish guerrilla insurgency against Turkish rule began in 1984, but in recent years has not been active.
