Kirkuk is a city in Iraq, and it is the capital of the Kirkuk Governorate. It is 238 kilometres north of Baghdad, and it is in the Kirkuk Governorate. The city is home to Turkmens, Arabs, and Kurds from all over the world. Kirkuk is built on the ruins of the old Kirkuk Citadel, which is near the Khasa River. When Kirkuk was named the "capital of Iraqi culture" in 2010, many people thought it was a good idea. It is said to be the capital of the Kurdistan Regional Government, which is in the country. They also think Kirkuk is important because it is their cultural and historical centre. However, the Federal Government of Iraq has said that Kirkuk is a small version of Iraq because of its many different people, and that the city is a good example of how to live together in the country. The Hurrian Arrapha was the name of Kirkuk in the past. In Ptolemy's book, he talks about 'Corcura' or 'Corkura', which is thought to be either Kirkuk or the site of Baba Gurgur, which is 4.5 kilometres from the city. In Mesopotamian Aramaic, which was the language of the Fertile Crescent at the time, it was called Kark d'Be l, which meant "Citadel of the House of Seleucid" and was the language of choice. Assyrian sources from the Middle East and Syria called the area around Kirkuk "Beth Garmai." The name "Beth Garmai" or "Beth Garme" may come from Syriac, which means "the house of bones." This is thought to be a reference to the bones of the Achaemenids that were killed in a decisive battle between Alexander the Great and Darius III on the plains between the Upper Zab and the Diyala river. It was one of a number of Neo-Assyrian states that thrived during the Parthian empire, and it was one of them (150 BC-226 AD). Garmakan, which means "Land of Warmth" or "Hot Land," was also thought to be the name of the region during the Parthian and Sassanid eras. People in Persian use the word "garm" to describe something that is warm. It was called Kirkheni after the 7th century by Muslims who wrote about it. The word Bajermi, which comes from the Aramaic "B'th Garmayeh," or Jermakan, which comes from the Persian "Garmakan," was also used by other people.
