# The Kurdish Cooperation Organization

The home site of The Kurdish Cooperation Organization (KCO) at https://kurds.global/. Charter version 1.0.0.1. Pages are written in English; other languages are served in place and stay out of search until native speakers review them. Every figure keeps its measure, year, source and label. The site holds no member data. Sponsorship is the only form of support.
