Kurdish History

Kurds came thousand and thousand years ago from the Kafkas mountains at the time when the big migration of humanity began from those mountains to the Middle East and Europe.

According to research, the flow of the emigrants divided into two main groups. One of these groups settled in Europe and extended to the generations we see nowadays Germany. The other group settled in the north of Mesopotamia (Kurdistan).Scientists believe that Kurds and Europeans descend from the same root, that is Indo-European (Aree) race.

The brightest page of Kurdish history goes back to the year 860 B.C. Kurds at that time had a very powerful Empire called Media. This Empire extended to some parts of present Iraq and Iran in addition to all their land.
