The Kurds in this region fascinate me. Have you ever noticed that certain tribes of the Lak and Fayli Kurds also exist in Anatolia / are originally from Anatolia? For example: - Malekshahi: they go back to the Beylik of Chemishgezek (which was also called "Melkişî", the name goes back to the founder of the dynasty "Melikşah"). - Chaghalvand: could be the Çaqalan tribe in Anatolia. In Iran they speak Laki & are Shiites (Jafari) and in Turkey they speak Kurmancî & are partly Alevi, partly Sunni (Hanafi). - Rishvand: could be the Reshwan tribe in Anatolia. In Iran (Lorestan) they speak Laki and are Shiites (Jafari) and in Turkey they speak Kurmancî and are mostly Sunni (Hanafi) and partly Alevi. There are also Shiite Reshwan Kurds in Khorasan and Qazvin. - Judeki: in the book "Contributions to the Anthropology of Iran" by Henry Field he mentions on page 177 the Judeki tribe, which lives in Lorestan between the Kashgan and Dez rivers. The Cudkî tribe also exists in Anatolia (in Konya). Historical sources indicate that the Chemishgezek Kurds also settled in the border region of Iran & Iraq (besides Khorasan). We know from the sources that the leader of the Chemishgezek Hecî Rustem Beg was pro-Safavid and that he received lands in Iraq. Today's Malekshahi in Iraq & Iran are most likely those who followed Hecî Rustem Beg to Iraq and settled there. I assume that this migration movement is not limited to the Melikshahi but that other (pro-Safavid) tribes also migrated from Anatolia to Lorestan, Ilam, Mandali etc. This needs to be analyzed and researched.
