Kurdification

Kurdification

Kurdification is a neologism, coined after "Arabization", used to describe a cultural change in which something ethnically non-Kurdish is made to become Kurdish, usually in polemic contexts of post-Saddam Iraq, in particular in relation to Assyrian Christians and Iraqi Turkmen.
