Kurdish Areas 2002 CIA CIA CIA re It is a map with a more recent date 2002 vs 1992 and I thought it a good addition Good point but could try to find one that is less ugly no offense Also I don t see a huge difference between the two maps True the basic data seems just about the same and yes the map uses a less appealing style I actually think that the more to the point style is better at showing the Kurdish region Maybe the infobox in Kurdistan is not the best place for this particular image but I believe the fact that the CIA continues to show basically the same region as Kurdish bolsters the claim that this is the region that is Kurdistan Note also the inset caption characterising it as the traditional Kurdish inhabited area True but as I said before it s kinda ugly Could you find a nicer looking one It does kind of look like drippings from a green candle However it is a valid and more recent reference I m going to drop this whole conversation on to Talk Kurdistan and see where it goes
