Hi Alice;
The only one I've seen is one that we sold for probably 10 years -
produced
by the Institut Kurde de Paris.
It took us forever to sell 20 copies, so didn't bother to reorder it.
As luck would have it, we have one left, slightly ratty around the
edges. Size is 45 x 36". Scale is 1:1,700,000. It shows airfields,
pipelines, mineral resources, oil fields, roads, Kurdish areas,
ethnically
mixed areas, etc. Kurdistan in big letters in the middle of the map,
with
Jordan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, "Gurcistan", Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel.
Cheers
