Coloured map of Kurdistan, produced by the Association Suisse Kurdistan (ASK) probably in the early 1980s, and showing Kurdistan surrounded by the hostile countries of Iraq, Iran and Turkey, whose threat is symbolised by depictions of tanks and armed soldiers pointing their weapons at the Kurdish territory.
