This is what I found from the second link to the GPF site when I was trying to find out about the Kurds:
British Colonialism and the Kurds
British politicians idealized the Kurds as a persecuted minority, but British records show that oil riches, not concerns for minority rights, drove official policy. Kurdish opposition to British colonialism, combined with the threat of a Turkish takeover in the north, further complicated imperial policy.
So thats about all i know...
