    • found: Edmonds, C. Kurdish nationalism, via JSTOR website, Dec. 15, 2022(the historical basis of Kurdish nationalist thinking may be summed up as follows: the Kurds constitute a single nation which has occupied its present territory for three thousand years; they have their own history, language and culture; their country has been unjustly partitioned; they are the original owners, not strangers to be tolerated as minorities with limited concessions granted at the whim of the usurpers)
    • found: Myers, M. Kurdish nationalism, statehood and its gender integrated military, via Small wars journal website, Dec. 15, 2022(studies of nationalist movements around the Middle East and North Africa are often confined to the Weberian definition of statehood: "a human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory:" the nationalism literature thus tends to overlook areas where national identity and state boundaries do not overlap entirely, namely in the case of Kurdistan; existing literature addresses the Kurdish nationalist and women's rights movements, yet authors fail to approach its dynamic nature and layered complexities which this paper aims to address)
    • found: Wikipedia, Dec. 15, 2022(Kurdish nationalism; Kurdish nationalism (Kurdish: Kurdayetî) is a nationalist political movement which asserts that Kurds are a nation and espouses the creation of an independent Kurdistan from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey)
