The History of the Kurds and the Name of Kurdistan in the Khorasan Region
Arkan Ahmed Hassan, Aras Abdurahman mustefa
Kurds of Khorasan are part of the Kurdish nation and reside in Northern Khorasan. Although the exact time of the Kurds’ arrival in Khorasan cannot be determined, it is clear that they were displaced or they migrated to these areas during several historical periods. Until now, no scientific study or research in Kurdish language has been conducted about the Kurds of Khorasan, and Kurdish libraries show a significant shortage in this regard. However, research has been carried out in Persian by several Khorasani researchers, such as Kalimullah Tawahudi, Ali Rahmati, Muhammed Hussein Papli Yazdi, Ramazanali Shakri. Among them Tawahudi and Rahmati are Khorasani Kurds. Therefore, this research is considered one of the initial efforts in the Kurdish language to study the history of the Kurds of Khorasan. The current study explores the history of Kurdish migration and settlement to the Khorasan region. The study also explores the geographical areas populated by the Kurds (which is known as Kurdistan of Khorasan), Kurdish population and their military and political roles in the region. Another aim of the current study is to discuss the main reasons behind the forced displacement and migration of the Kurds for the region.
