The Kurds have lived in their mountain homeland for thousands of years and they even fought off Alexander the Great. Nomadnet, you are being willfully ignorant regarding the country of Kurdistan because you are a from a country that pretends Kurds are something called "Mountain Turks" as if the historical record doesn't show that the Kurds were in residence in their homeland for centuries before any Turks arrived in the vicinity, as well as denying the obvious fact that Kurdish is an Indo-European language and not a Turkic one.
They might have lived in Anatolia for a long time. So what? Did you hear any country name Kurdistan before? Many different folks in Anatolia have lived, come, gone, etc. Kurds are just one of them. Yes, from language point of view, Kurds are close relatives of Persians here, both in Indu-Euro. So, it can be said Kurds and Persians are relatives, but, with different religion sects, shia and sunni. From ethnicity point of view, nobody knows who Kurds are. Some Kurds say they are totally different than Persians. It is okay, whatever... Turkey is most multicultural country in the world, with many ethnicities, many religions and sects and cultures. Europe and rest of world are far behind Turkey in multiculturalism thing... Btw, about Turks' existence here, yes, their last come here happened in 1070, but, it was army. There were turkic nomadic folks in anatolia before that date, like kurdic nomadics too.. Also, during neolitic age, 8-9000 years ago, Turks too lived here in Anatolia (I can prove this which is not written in the written history books.) Those times, almost all folks were like nomadic folks who were travelling from time to time. In Anatolia, besides Turks, Kurds, Greeks, etc, Irish, Germans, Slavs, etc etc too lived in the past. Maybe, some of them stayed here and mix happened.. "This land is mine, you came here later".. Such things are absurd. The oldest settled place known now is only 12,000 years old, yes, in southeastern anatolia here, but, nobody knows which etnicity they were. Anyway.. Maybe, Kurds have been in Anatolia for 1000000000000000 years..
ps: Anyway, I understand you that you'll bring the topic to anti-semitism, the only voice that is clearly heard from this part of the world.
