An online version of the French "Quid" Encyclopedia
at
www.quid.fr published two different
"Kurdistan" maps showing large swaths of the Turkish
Republic inside proclaimed "Kurdistan" borders on
its internet site.
The Quid Encyclopedia portrays almost all of
Turkey's East and Southeast areas as being inside
the "Kurdistan" part of the map, with a finger of
the area stretching into Kurdistan Region (Northern
Iraq).
French Quid Encyclopedia site shows "Physical
Turkish Kurdistan," and provided large amounts of
information about Turkey at the same time as
articles on why Turkey should not enter the EU.
Quid is a French encyclopedia, established in 1963

Southern Kurdistan (Kurdistan Iraq)
The use of the term "Kurdistan" is vigorously
rejected due to its alleged political implications
by the Republic of Turkey, which does not recognize
the existence of a "Turkish Kurdistan". |
