Anatolia is the peninsula. Anything outside of the peninsula is not in anatolia.

Both Turks and Kurds vary. In my experience, the Turkic element is mostly concentrated in Central Anatolia/Ankara region. For the most part Turks are just Turkfied Anatolians with a significant Greek input in West Turkey and a Caucasian input in Northeastern Turkey.

Kurds are overall more 'West Asisn', but they still vary. Turkish Kurds are mixed with Turks and Syrian/Iraqi Turks are mixed with Arabs to varying degrees. And Iranian Kurds are autosomally identical to Persians.
