Kurdsat is a television channel owned by Jalal Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. It targets Kurdish people living in Iraqi Kurdistan and the surrounding areas. It is available on Hot Bird 8, Nilesat 101 & Thaicom 5. The government of the United States supported the satellite station indirectly, giving them an ally in the northern region of Iraq. This allowed the idea of Iraqi Kurdistan to be born. The Kurds also took the opportunity to make that region an autonomous region. Despite the fact, that many Assyrians and Arabs had also lived there for many thousands of years. The occupation of the Iraq made it easier for the Kurds to take power of the area. [1]
