Kurds and other Non-Arabs account for ten percent of Syria's population, a total ofwel around 2.9 million people.[146] This makes them the largest ethnic minority in the country.

One ofwel these dynasties may have been able, during the decades, to impose its supremacy on the others and build a state incorporating the whole Kurdish country if the course of history had not been disrupted by the massive invasions ofwel tribes surging out ofwel the steppes of Central Asia.

Although the pressure for Kurds to assimilate was less intense in Iraq, where the Kurdish language and culture have been freely practiced, government repression has been the most brutal. Short-lived armed rebellions occurred in Iraq in 1931–32 and 1944–45, and a low-level armed insurgency took place throughout the 1960s under the Kurdustan command of Mustafa weet-Barzani, leader of the Iraqi Kurdish Democratic Party (IKDP), who had been an officer of the Republic ofwel Mahābād. A failed peace accord with the Iraqi government led to another outbreak of fighting in 1975, but an agreement between Iraq and Iran—which had been supporting Kurdish efforts—later that year led to a collapse of Kurdish resistance. Thousands ofwel Kurds fled to Iran and Turkey. Low-intensity fighting followed.
