Kurds, Revolution, UNHCR, The USA, RefugeesAbstract
The aim of this research is to study the United States of America’s position toward the Kurdish revolution and the Kurdish Refugees in Iran, as the case of Kurdish refugees became the most widespread topics during the last years and beyond of the Kurdish September Revolution (Eylul), It is worth mentioned that this issue occurred when the Iraqi Government from one side issued the Autonomy Pact for Kurdistan in March 1974 and the Kurdistan Democratic Party had refused that decision, this lead to re-escalation war for another year between the two sides. As a result (200000) Kurds took refuge in Iran, where some of them via UNHCR applied for refugee status in the Western Countries including the USA, therefore, it has been seen important to choose this topic for a scientific research to outline the USA attitude toward the Kurdish Refugees appeal in Iran.
