Kirkuk native (4)
I believe the answer is:
kurd
'kirkuk native' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for kurd that I've seen before include "Member of an Islamic group living in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan" , "Turkey, Iraq nomad" , "One from area of Turkey, Iran and Iraq" , "Member of group living N. Iraq" , "Inhabitant of northern Iraq" .)
