Well they’re still trying hard to “Turkify” the kurdish populationThey tried to eraze Kurdish identity; Kurds were called "Mountain Turks" by the Turkish state, and since the founding of the Turkish state the Kurdish language was defacto criminalized. They eased up on it in the late 2009s I think and allowed Kurdish to be taught but more recently Erdogan has been repressing Kurdish language institutes. Giving children Kurdish names was banned for a long time.
If you want an even more interesting genetic study look into Azerbaijan , it will also shine a bigger light into turkification and panturkism
