Are marriages among Yazidi Kurds back in Kurdistan traditionally arranged by elders or western concept of datings/love marriages is the norm among youth in contemporary times?

How do you see Saladin? When he was a Sunni Muslim, he was very much Arabized culturally and took Levantine Arab wives ? Also what do you think of Sunni Muslim Kurds ? Saladin is seen as much as an Arab and Muslim hero as he is a Kurd? What do you think of Persians and Afghans ?

For what i know, he considers afghans punjabis/black dravidians(pashtuns), tajiks as mixed black dravidian and aryan. Thats what i know

Closest relatives to the Kurds are some Caucasian groups such as Georgians and Northernwest Iranic groups such as Western Persians and Tats.
Kurds are closer to armenians than to georgians. I am sure that you are aware of that but you are still implying the false information...

No, Kurds are genetically closer to Georgians than to the Armenians. I have already shown you that the Ezdi Kurds perfectly overlap with the Georgians on the academic PCA maps. We don;t overlap with the Armenians at all.
bullshit. Show me a legitimate pca that plots kuds closer to georgians than to armenians. I can show you g25 plot.

g25 is not academic. According to the academic studies, Kurds are Late Maykop/Trialeti people. And Armenians are mixed people

The reason why kurds plot closer to armenians than to georgians is because armenians have less CHG than georgians. Same goes for kurds. Armenians have more neolithic iranian component than georgians as well. Armenians on average score more steppe than georgians which also makes them more kurdish like.

What are you talking about? Kurds are mostly Irn_ChL people. Irn_Chl is mostly derived from the CHG itself and NOT directly from the Iran_Neo.

Armenians have way too much Anatolian and Semitic Levantine in them than Kurds and that pulls the Armenians far away from the Caucasus on the academic PCA maps.

On the academic PCA maps (invented by Lazaridis, Reich, Krause and co) Kurds can be seen as Southern Caucasus people, while Armenians are Anatolians and more native to the 'Armenian Plateau'.
Holy crap. I guess kurds are southern caucasians now. Are you seriously tripping? Again, armenians have more iranian neolithic ancestry than georgians, but armenians also have a descent CHG component. Needless to say the levantine component in eastern armenians and kurds are almost on par with each other. Maybe armenians score like 1% or 0.5% more SW asian than kurds. Just stop this obsession with georgians man. I get that you were born in georgia and therefore you feel close to the country but that doesn't allow you to make bogus claims like these.
