Kurds in Belgium are Kurds living in Belgium. The number of Kurds is estimated between 7,100 and 25,000. Most Belgian Kurds live in the capital Brussels.
In 1993, population of Kurds in Belgium was estimated as 12,000 by Kurdish Institute of Paris (KIP).[2] Today, KIP estimates the same number as 70,000. Almost all Kurds in Belgium are Muslim.
