Most of the Kurdish people in Sweden live in the capital Stockholm but also in Uppsala[1]. The majority of the Kurdish political refugees choose Sweden as their new host country and this is the reason why the Kurds have a cultural image in Sweden. [2] There are about 50.000 – 60.000 Kurds in Sweden and the most of them have arrived for political reasons[3]. The Swedish government have been very helpful to the Kurds, they have helped them to spread their culture by publishing books in Kurdish[4], something that is forbidden in north Kurdistan.
