A privately owned publishing house in Konya, Turkey, has published
textbooks for elementary schoolchildren in which the eastern and
southeastern areas of present-day Turkey are presented as `Kurdistan.'
According to Turkish daily Hurriyet, the map of Kurdistan can be found

A representative from the publishing house, Akin Yuksel, apologized to
the Turkish people, recently stating that the error was an oversight
by the company.
