Would they be equidistant from Sicilians/Ashkenazis as the Druze are?

I've heard people claim that Kurds are largely Iranized Assyrians.

Then Armenians wouldn't be either, and some Armenians can get pretty close to Iranians.

Why do they claim to be Anatolians, if they're basically just Iranians who live in the SE part of Turkey (which really isn't Anatolia anyway)?
