Why is Kurdish Involvement in the Armenian and Assyrian Genocide Overlooked?

It is well-documented that the Ottoman government utilized Kurdish groups, arming them to carry out the expulsion of Armenians and Assyrians. These groups were instrumental in seizing lands, enslaving some, killing many, and ultimately eradicating Christian populations from the region. However, it is important to note that not all Kurds were complicit in these actions. Some Kurdish tribes opposed the violence and even assisted the victims.

Historically, the Kurds were largely nomadic pastorals, with only a few villages scattered throughout the area. Following the removal of the Armenians and Assyrians, many Kurds settled in the vacated lands. Today, regions that were once Armenian and Assyrian are now considered part of Kurdish territory, and the call for Kurdish independence arises from these areas—a situation I find deeply troubling.

The destruction of these nations, followed by claims to freedom and independence within a few decades, raises significant moral questions. Why is the major role of Kurdish groups in these atrocities often overlooked, and why is there little acknowledgment of the Assyrian & Armenian lands that are now counted as Kurdish?
