Before the Armenian Genocide, Kurds lived side by side with Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, covering the same area. In the case of Armenian and Kurdistan becoming independent at the same time (in any POD you may wish: Ottoman defeat, Russian 'liberation', etc), would it be possible for it to merge with Armenia, taking in consideration the differences between the two people?

If not. What would be the most rational division between the two states based in nationality? I was thinking in the territories demarked in the Treaty of Sévres going to Armenia, while the 'rest' would go Kurdistan.
(Yes, I know that implanting nation-states in multiethnic regions isn't wise.)
