history

Kurds are one of the oldest ethnic groups in the Middle East and are said to be descendants of the ancient Medes.

In the middle of 6th century BC, the Medes were conquered by cyrus the great, the Persian Empire, and the integration of the Medes and Persians formed today's Kurds. From the end of the 4th century BC to the 7th century AD, the areas inhabited by Kurds were conquered and ruled successively by Selugu Dynasty, Rest Empire, Roman Empire, Sassanbos and Eastern Roman Empire. During this period, Kurds failed to establish their own unified regime, but were constantly conquered by powerful families and were in a subordinate position.
