[edit] Kurds/Arabs

There are about 1 million Kurds in Syria, and about 1 million inhabitants in Al Hasakah. Kurds in Syria are more dispersed than other countries so I highly doubt that the the majority of the 1 million inhabitants of Al Hasakah are Kurds. I add that to the fact that the Syrian government has moved in large numbers of Arab farmers over the past 30 years and that Al Hasakah has large numbers of Armenians and Assyrians.Yuber^(talk) 23:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Yuber.

I have alreaddy cited source in the article. Another thing is this that the number of Kurds is not 1 Million there but about 2 millions.

Thank you Diyako Talk + 00:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey Diyako. The source isn't very direct, doesn't give exact numbers, and is from 1987, but I'll leave it there until I can find something better. Yuber^(talk) 00:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Yuber.

Here I found a credible source. Kurds form 9% of syrian 19,046,520 population [1] and mostly living in northeast corner (Al Hasaka province) of Syria. Which as a result proves that Kurds are the majority in the province.

Thank you. Diyako Talk + 00:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
