[edit] Mkhagrdzeli Kurds does not mean non-Iranian

Kurds are an Iranian people just like Swedish or English people are Germanic. Being Kurdish does not mean non-Iranian. Kurdish means all Iranians who live in northwestern Persia. Sharishirin (talk) 14:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Zakarids have nothing to do with Kurds, the original medieval Armenian texts say they came from Korduk (Armenian province south of Lake Van, now - Hakkari in Turkey). This does not mean they were modern people called "Kurds." It is the same mistake made by the Armenian writer Raffi who claimed that Mamikonians originated from China (he mixed up China and the Chen (Armenian name for Pontos/Lazistan).
