I spent a lot of time in Northern Iraq with the “Kurds”.
Not all Kurds are the same. Far from it. It is like saying all Americans think the same.
This doesn’t answer the OPs question, but I do have an answer. Just don’t have the energy for it, nor could it be correct to those that want a certain answer. ‘Kurds’ have fought each other for a very long time and that created three major Kurd offsets.
There is a very long history to a very complicated situation over there.
