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.



Thanks for the informed comments. It does cast a different light on the whole region, IMO.
