Well, Jami, I've met a few Kurds ( Iranian and Turkish) and they do have loyalty to each other. Tribalism, it's fundamental to the human condition. Instinctual.
I always use this example. America is perceived as the melting pot. But really it's more like visiting a salad bar. Any individual can make their own salad with all the ingredients mixed to their pleasure.
BUT the bar is segregated to begin with. Lettuce tomatoes carrots black olives celery etc.
And in analogy you have Chinatown Japantown Little Italy Little Sigon German Town Polish Village Korea Town Little Havana etc.
And so people form tribes and clans and that's where a lot of loyalty lies, family, tribe, village, city, State, country. For most people that's probably the order of priorities. When you're struggling for a country of your own you end up in beds with strangers! I'm not excusing mistakes in judgment on the part of some Kurds in being on the wrong side of history. BUT that saying, " any port in a storm " carries a certain truth.
