Yes, Kurds were used by the Turks to do the dirty work. Quite similar to Nazis using locals (Ukrainian nationalist in particular) to kill Jews in Eastern Europe.

Quote : The genocide of Armenians by some Kurds was meticulously carried out with help from some tribal Kurds who were organized into an auxiliary force called the "Hamidiye Alaylari" or Hamidiye Brigades of the government in Constantinople.

Kurds did apologize for this too.
