Caught between two fires: Iraq

Overview

After crossing the border with Greece and Syria, correspondent Bram Vermeulen visits the one with Iraq. He visits the twilight zone of the Kurds, the only people in the region left stateless as a result of World War I. As the Kurds wander through Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, they fight for autonomy. The PKK demands recognition of their existence, while Turkey considers their armed struggle terrorism and cracks down on Kurds. This drives them back into the arms of the PKK.
