That is, a Kurdistan (which, interestingly, as the situation currently suggests, would itself be somewhat ‘federal’ between a KDP and PUK portion, at least for the time being) that is a constituent part of Iraq, along with, for arguments sake, an Arab ‘federation’ constituting the centre ‘sunni’ region and southern ‘shi’i’ region, with power-sharing arrangements designed to expand cooperation between the different groups, protect human rights and develop both federal and national policies for the emergency relief of the Iraqi people, whatever their ethnicity or beliefs.
3 This demographic description allows a territory of Kurdistan to be approximately denoted on maps, but is open to a great deal of interpretation, particularly as the human geography of the Kurdish people is in flux, with many having migrated from their homeland and intermarriage being a common feature between Kurds and their neighbours. This approach, while being popular, is unfortunately arbitrary in designating the required concentration of Kurds needed amongst the population to qualify the area as being part of Kurdistan.
4 For the purposes of this book, the Kurdish territory of Iraq includes those areas evacuated by the GOI in 1991, and subsequently controlled by the Kurdish parties.
