- Abstract
In the certain stages of the history, Kurds have been deprived from the right of selfdetermination, and oppressed by the different nations. The problematic case of the Kurds with the concepts of "nation", "nationalism", and "nation-state" has been discussed and studied by many Kurdish and non-Kurdish scholars, political activists and parties. Their current situation created a new base and the new arguments of the concept of the Kurdish nation-state. That is why this paper is aimed to analyze the Kurds in the frameworks of "nation", "nationalism", and "nation-state", their historical and present circumstances in the territories in which they lived and they live, the emergence of nationalist idea and the movements among them. Finally, the paper enlightens the situation of Kurdish people within the concept of "nation-state" based on the right of self-determination.
