You seem to be having an identity crisis, kurd poster... so let me give you a break down on what most academics know about Kurdish history.
> bc: several Iranian tribes occupy a mountainous territory around Northern Mesopotamia- some of them are likely related to Medians..
>Become Islamized a lot later.. Saladin, a kurd founds the Ayyubid dynasty. Important Kurdish dynasties rule from Marash and Nisisbis.
>fast forward to ww1 and the Ottoman Turks allow the settlement of a large number of Kurds in former Armenian lands- though the Kurds have always had some presence in Eastern Anatolia among a mixed population they are now the undisputed majority

the rest is under debate
