Vocabulary: Determine Meaning Read "Kurdish Nationalism." What do you think the word autonomy means? What does it mean when the text states that "Today, Kurds in Iraq have much autonomy, but many Kurds still want their own state"?

Autonomy is a system of self government

Explanation:

The Kurds have much autonomy; self governing, but still want their own state.

The Kurdish people, despite having self government, long for total independence which can be gotten by creation of their own State.



The Kurds, according to the Treaty of Sèvres have a right to a sovereign nation that would be carved out from areas in Turkey, Iraq and Syria. This is the basis of the Kurdish nationalism.

Despite being autonomous, they want and demand a sovereign state for themselves which is their right.
