The Kurds of Khorasan or Khorasani Kurds (Kurdish: Kurdên Xorasanê, Persian: کردهای خراسان) are Kurds native to northeastern Iran, across the Iran-Turkmenistan border. They inhabit much of North Khorasan province, northern and northwestern parts of Razavi Khorasan province, as well as parts of Golestan province.
They speak a Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish and are mostly adherents of Shia Islam. The population of Khorasani Kurds is about half a million, some 400 thousand of which live in Razavi Khorasan and the rest in North Khorasan.[3]
History
Kormanj Kurds were moved from north west of Iran after the 1610 war between Kurds and the Safavid Empire. After the Safavids massacred a large number of Soorani and Kurmanj Kurds in the 1610 war, a large number of them were moved by force to Khorasan, in the eastern part of Iran, in order to weaken and divide them.[3]
