which group is trying to build its own country based on religion and seize control of dams along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers?

The Kurds are trying to build their own country based on religion and seize control of dams along the Tigris and Euphrates.

Explanation:

The Kurdish people are a distinct ethnic and cultural entity, but unlike many people groups, they do not have their own country. The territory in which the Kurds leave is referred to by them as Kurdistan, and it encompasses territories of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Basically, the Kurds leave in several different countries and all of those countries have a hostile relation toward them and their quest for the formation of their own country.

As mentioned, the Kurds have different ethnic identity, their own unique culture, and religiously are much more variant than the other groups in the region, but are tolerant toward each other, unlike the other groups. The goal to create their own country and not be subject to oppression has led to a lot of violence, with several different groups being active with their para-military personal, but also including terrorist activities, especially after an attack on Kurdish civilians. There have been diplomatic attempts for decades to resolve the situation in a peaceful manner, but it has resulted in nothing good so far.
