Abstract
In order to understand the experiences of refugees in the country of exile, an understanding of their background and reasons for flight is absolutely necessary. This chapter thus provides a short general introduction to the Kurdish question, and then continues with a brief description of recent political developments and forced migration in each of the three countries of origin.
