Kurds in Türkiye: a history
Bakur, as Kurdish usage names the Kurdish areas of Türkiye, lies in the south-east. The largest urban Kurdish population lives in the west, in Istanbul, Izmir, Mersin, Adana and Ankara, and there are Central Anatolian Kurds. In the 1990s, 0.95 to 1.2 million people were displaced (Hacettepe study, 2006).
