Thank you for your explanations.

Some sources would help.

Here is one reference:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Kurds#Early_history

Notice in that one alone the indigenous existence of the Kurds in their area PRIOR to the arrival of the Seljuk Turkomen that led to the Ottoman Empire.

Later, even that Empire made more of an accommodation and sometimes even alliance with the Kurds, leaving them much more autonomy than modern Turkey, Iraq or Syria ever have.

There are other sources that recognize some of tribal elements of Kurds all the back into Roman times, before the modern designation as “Kurds”.
