Wow, glad you're ok

@@Magische84 made it out ok!

Im izmir now

it originally kurdish then turks and arabs moved later

@@didididi565 wrong.. Kurds came from Persia, modern Iran.. They are not native of Anatolia.. Hittites, Assyrian, Babylonian lived here before anyone's migration. Urfa, Ancient Edessa founded by the Seleucid Empire.. Later, it was taken by Roman, then Arab.. Then Ottoman conquered as well and after that it was Turkish city.. it was never Kurdish city.. The Kurds migrated here during caliphate.. They also lived under Ottoman Rule.. There's no such word ''Kurd'' mention in history before Muslim conquest of Persia.. it means during Muslim conquest of Persia in 7th century, Kurds lives in Zagros mountains, Iran.. Later the migrated to Anatolia after converted to islam during the Caliphate..

@@milliyetci5672 ​ @꧁ Райан Milliyetçi ꧂ Lol why so hateful? there is Kurds in western iran but kurds are not only from iran there are in turkey,syria and iraq too...don't forget that those borders are new of only 200 yearsmaybe drawn by the europeans.Also it not true that there is no mention of kurds in history since the word ''kurd'' was found in a sumerian tablet in mesopotamia area and urfa is part of mesopotamia.Finally i even got a DNA test done and according to that DNA test i am over 80% from''turkey'' especially from Yozagat province and the test says that im kurdish.So i am more native to this country then maybe 75%of the population so it not you whos gonna tell me where i am from ok? have a great day.

@@milliyetci5672 i agree that hittites are one of the ancient native anatolian people but assyirans and babylonians aren't native to anatolia since they are semitic people and anatolia isn't semitic

@@milliyetci5672 You are spewing Turkish propaganda and lies. The word "Kurd" dates back over 5,000 years ago and is derived from "Guti" and "Qurti". In 450 B.C., the Greek historian Xenophon and his 10,000 mercenaries marched through Northern-Kurdistan and wrote about their encounter with the Kurds. The Ottomans did not "settle Kurds in Anatolia" because the Kurds ruled over most of what is today Eastern "Turkey" centuries before the Ottomans even existed. For example, the Kurdish Marwanid Dynasty ruled over Diyarbakir and its surroundings (including Urfa) between 950 AD - 1100 AD. This Kurdish dynasty predates the Ottoman Empire by over 500 years, so tell me, how did the Ottomans settle Kurds in this area 500 years before the Ottomans themselves even existed? There were many more Kurdish dynasties, such as the Shaddadids who ruled over Kars Region in the 10th to 13th century. Your story, or rather fantasy, is full of lies and inconsistencies.

fair enough and thanks for commenting!
