Talk:Mountain Turks

Roots of Kurdish people has no relation with Turks so labeling "Mountain Turks" as Kurdish people is just an ignorant act. There is no evidence about it. Scragnothh (talk) 00:49, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * "During the 1930s and 1940s, the government had disguised the presence of the Kurds statistically by categorizing them as "Mountain Turks." With official encouragement, some scholars even suggested that Kurdish, an Indo-European language closely related to Persian, was a dialect of Turkish." . Yaan (talk) 11:26, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Which government said? In which source? In what year (30s 40s is not a reliable date)? If it is the Turkish government, is they have a right to change the history? Do we have to label the sayings of each government as a proficient source, or are the governments try to make a rigid nationality with assimilation strategies? Also you're saying that labeling Kurds as somekind of Turks is just for disguise so it is not true in reality. History of Kurdish people has a relation with Persians of course, but there is no relation with Turks as their roots are from far east and Kurds are from Mesopotamia. So I am repeating that there is no any one evidence about this issue so do not label the totally different race as a subdivison of other.Scragnothh (talk) 18:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Reverting the page to redirect to Kurds, since it is demonstrably true that "Mountain Turks" is how the Turkish government labelled Kurds, despite Scragnothh's weird denials. Apophenic (talk) 16:26, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
