A Flag of a Stateless Nation

Whether it flies legally in Southern Kurdistan, secretly in banned regions, or proudly in diaspora communities worldwide, the Kurdistan flag declares a simple truth: Kurds exist, remember their history, and claim their right to live freely and call Kurdistan their homeland.
