Of course Kurds are going to have substantial phenotypic variation because Kurdistan covers like 3 different climate areas, all with different topographical features and gene selection pressures. Kurds were also divided into nomadic and sedentary tribes up until recent times which left an effect on phenotypic diversity.
Anyway, Kurds don't seem come out as any less homogenous than their neighbors on this plot: a few outliers and a fairly compact core cluster.

That doesn't make them Armenians, just because they can pass as Armenian.. Even some Sicilians can pass as Armenians are they too Armenians? Einstein
Since we are from basically same Hurro-Urartian stock, While Armenia conquered many times with Iranic peoples, some Kurdish regions also conquered by Armenians.. FFS we are neighbours for thousands of years :
Those 10 people are from all over Kurdish regions, not like from same place that one can not extrapolate for all Kurds.. while the number of sample is not the best, it is still enough to draw some basic conclusion especially when it is inline with samples from Behar(Iranian Kurds) and Yunusbayev(Khorasan Kurds) studies aren't any different from these people either

From what I've seen the vast majority of the pics here are of Southern Kurds, so what "assimilated Armenians" are you talking about exactly? and you should be the last to talk. Not only did Armenians/Assyrians massacre Kurds in Rawanduz, they are, until this day trying to divide Kurds in Armenia along the lines of "Yezidi" and "other Kurds" too bad the government in Southern Kurdistan awards these fools a reserved seat, even though Armenians clearly don't deserve it, based on their dirty dealing with Kurds in Armenia.

This post has so many flaws, I don't even know where to start. First of all, the word Kurd predates any Iranic involvement in the Middle East and has Sumerian origin, in a sense that the Sumerians first made mentions of the Kurds, which they described as "Mountain people" and those Hitties and others you made mention of contributed greatly to the modern Kurdish culture and language. The Iranics did shape much of the Modern Kurdish language and culture, but the Kurds still retained some of their pre-Iranic traditions! for example, the older Kurdish generation still inks Hurrian tattoos to their bodies, along with many other ancient Mesopotamian rituals that prove our ancient establishment in Mesopotamia. There is a reason Kurds are not called "Medes" today, indeed, the term Kurd survived all of the influences exposed to it.
In fact, there are many Kurdish words that have Sumerian or other ancient Mesopotamian origin! but due to the lack of non-bias study into the Kurdish language it is largely unknown off, indeed, recently some research conducted in Southern Kurdistan found many words used in the Kurdish language that are not of Iranic origin.
Seeing how both Kurds and Persians are part of the Iranic branch linguistically, would it be fair to say that Persians are just Shia Kurds? or are you just another mentally challenged kid that can't comprehend the very basic concepts of understanding information?
