The Kurds are a people who inhabit the mountainous regions of southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran, and northern Iraq. Kurds are believed to have originated in the Zagros Mountains in western Iran. The Kurdish people are ethnically and linguistically diverse, and their culture is rich and varied.
The first written record of the Kurds is from the 6th century BC. At that time, the Kurds lived in the Zagros Mountains and adjacent areas. The Assyrians, who lived in the Tigris-Euphrates valley, invaded the Zagros region in the 7th century BC, and the Kurds were forced to migrate to the plains.
