Question: Who claimed a homeland in parts of Turkey, Iran, and the country of citizenship of Al-Mu'tamid and his follower?

<P0-S0> Kurdistan (/ ˌkɜːrdɪˈstæn, ˈstɑːn /; Kurdish: کوردستان ‎ (ˌkʊɾdɯˈstɑːn) (listen); lit. <P0-S1> ``homeland of the Kurds '') or Greater Kurdistan is a roughly defined geo - cultural historical region wherein the Kurdish people form a prominent majority population and Kurdish culture, languages and national identity have historically been based. <P0-S2> Kurdistan roughly encompasses the northwestern Zagros and the eastern Taurus mountain ranges. <P0-S3> The territory corresponds to Kurdish irredentist claims. <SEP> <P1-S0> the first president on record issuing a ``pardon ''to his turkey was ronald reagan. <P1-S1> reagan had been sending the turkeys presented to him to farms and zoos since at least 1982, and 1987's turkey, charlie, was likewise headed to a petting zoo. <P1-S2> at the time, reagan was facing questions over the iran - contra affair, on whether or not he would consider pardoning oliver north (who had yet to be tried for his involvement in the affair); reagan conjured the notion of the turkey pardon as a joke to deflect those questions. <P1-S3> reagan did not pardon a turkey in his final year as president in 1988, but his successor, george h.w. <P1-S4> bush, instituted the turkey pardon as a permanent part of the presentation beginning his first year in office, 1989, in response to the protests of animal rights activists. <SEP> <P2-S0> Under al-Mu'tadid he served as commander of the caliph's personal guard and led various expeditions against Bedouins and other restive elements in Iraq, while al-Muqtafi dispatched him in 906 against the Qarmatians. <P2-S1> After al-Muqtafi's death, he played a decisive role in the suppression of the palace coup that briefly deposed al-Muqtadir in favour of Abdallah ibn al-Mu'tazz. <P2-S2> He was then named treasurer ("khazin") and chief of security ("sahib al-shurta") to the Caliph. <P2-S3> He died in 914. <SEP> <P3-S0> Al-Mu'tadid was the son of al-Muwaffaq, who was the regent and effective ruler of the Abbasid state during the reign of his brother, Caliph al-Mu'tamid. <P3-S1> As a prince, the future al-Mu'tadid served under his father during various military campaigns, most notably in the suppression of the Zanj Rebellion, in which he played a major role. <P3-S2> When al-Muwaffaq died in June 891 al-Mu'tadid succeeded him as regent. <P3-S3> He quickly sidelined his cousin and heir-apparent al-Mufawwad, and when al-Mu'tamid died in October 892, he succeeded to the throne. <P3-S4> Like his father, al-Mu'tadid's power depended on his close relations with the army. <P3-S5> These were first forged during the campaigns against the Zanj and were reinforced in later expeditions which the Caliph led in person: al-Mu'tadid would prove to be the most militarily active of all Abbasid caliphs. <P3-S6> Through his energy and ability, he succeeded in restoring to the Abbasid state some of the power and provinces it had lost during the turmoil of the previous decades. <SEP> <P4-S0> mesopotamia is a historical region in west asia situated within the tigris -- euphrates river system, in modern days roughly corresponding to most of iraq plus kuwait, the eastern parts of syria, southeastern turkey, and regions along the turkish -- syrian and iran -- iraq borders.
