They, were the men of the Sharif of Hejaz. Levant and Mesopotamia were revolt free during the war. Even the Arab troops entering Damascus and Aleppo were the Hejazi Forces (although entering after the British Forces took control). The Kurds turning against the Republican Government =/= were against the Ottomans. They even wanted the Caliphate back during the Shaykh Sayid Rebellion in 1925. Although that was their reason for rebellion... Their early rebellion vs the Republican Government were largely the reforms being implemented and Ankara's desire to get the Kurds closer to Turkey rather than being a far corner of the new State. That is based on how the Balkan Minorities and Armenians tried to break away from Ottoman Rule. To avoid that, they wanted the Kurds to assimilate as it was easier for them being Sunni Muslims. It only made things worse though. And the rebellions ended by the late 30s until the pkk insurgency in the mid 80s. That is almost half a century.
