Mhallami "Lebanese Kurds" - Originally from Mardin, Turkey

[Kyp]

They are known in Germany for criminal behaviour.
Lebanese people call them Kurds. But in Turkey and among Kurds they seem to be considered as Arabs.
What are they?
If someone has any Gedmatch kits they can post here, it would be greatly appreciated.
They consider themselves Lebanese or arab by the way

My one of best friends is originally half Arab from Mardin but she also has some roots from Lebanon. They call themselves as “Mıhellemi” as far as i know so we probably talk about the same people. They use Arabic (with a different dialect) in Turkey.

Thank you. Seems like they are closer to Levantines.
