Throughout periods of history the nature of the history of Kurdistan was exposed to many attempts of distortion and forgery, through book publishing, research papers and non-scientific studies; behind which there were multiple sides, parties, and people. In addition to which, there was occasional intervention by government agencies assigning certain writers and orientalists ,writing according to well-studied plans serving their anti-Kurdish nationalistic tendencies. The attempts of which targeted all aspects and stages of Kurdistan’s history, including the history of Kurdish liberation movement, challenging its legitimacy. On the other hand, Kurdish researchers and writers also contributed, especially after the uprising of 1991 to the distortion of fact by writing books and publishing research in a non-scientific method with exaggeration and intimidation.
