KURDISH DIASPORA OF KAZAKHSTAN IN THE NEW GEOPOLITICAL AND GEOECONOMIC REALITY

Abstract

The Kurdish diaspora in Kazakhstan is one of the many and diverse ethnic groups living in the multinational country. The Kurds, whose homeland is located in a region that covers parts of modern-day Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, have historically migrated for various reasons. Kazakhstan has become home to a significant portion of the Kurdish people, whose lives and culture are closely intertwined with local history. The Kurdish diaspora in Kazakhstan occupies a special place in the ethnocultural mosaic of the country. With their rich history, unique culture, and active participation in public life, the Kurds have become an important part of Kazakhstani society. Despite all the difficulties that representatives of this people have faced, they have managed to preserve their traditions and make a significant contribution to the development of Kazakhstan.

Key words: political party, diaspora, assimilation, socio-cultural life, Kurds.
