A large nation but does not have the power to establish a country. The inhibiting factors come from internal and external. Internally, we can see that the Kurds are separate and scattered in several countries; Turkey, Syria and Iraq, each with their own ideals. Whereas for the external comes from the discrimination of the countries they occupy. This study concludes that international law introduces the concept of self determinations.
