Line 193: ==Kurds and Medes== {{main\|Origin of the Kurds}} The Armenian historian Heyton (Hethum), who lived in the 13th century, states: "''Postea vero Sarraceni amiserunt dominium Egipti et Medi, qui Cordins vulgariter dicembantur; regni Egipti dominium occupaverunt.''" (Eventually the Arabs lost control of Egypt; and the Medes "who were called the Kurds." They dominated Egypt.)<ref>''Recueil docs.arm''.,II, s.225, 343.</ref><ref>Kurds and Kurdistan, Minorsky, T. Bois, D.N Mac Kenzie, p.70 Doz Publications 2nd edition Ayyubids 1st paragraph</ref> Russian historian and linguist [[Vladimir Minorsky]] suggested that the Medes, who widely inhabited the land where currently the [[Kurds]] form a majority, might have been forefathers of the modern Kurds. He also states that the Medes who invaded the region in the eighth century BC, linguistically resembled the Kurds. This view was accepted by many Kurdish nationalists in the twentieth century. However, [[Martin van Bruinessen]], a Dutch scholar, argues against the attempt to take the Medes as ancestors of the Kurds.<ref name="Ozoglu25">Hakan Özoğlu, ''Kurdish notables and the Ottoman state: Evolving Identities, Competing Loyalties, and Shifting Boundaries'', SUNY Press, 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=CttLWEaTrJUC&pg=PA25&dq=%22many+Kurdish+nationalists+in+the+twentieth+century%22&hl=en&ei=0TQ_TpexHKWImQXU-dSSCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22many%20Kurdish%20nationalists%20in%20the%20twentieth%20century%22&f=false p. 25.]</ref>
