the mountain-passes in that region seem to define the borders between the ethnic groups?

How old is this map? I can't see a date. Most Armenians left Nagorno-Karabakh after it was occopied by Azerbaijan in 2023: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Azerbaijani_offensive_in_Nagorno-Karabakh
The area had a population of 150 000, more than 100 000 armenians left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_of_Nagorno-Karabakh_Armenians
This map is apparently from Wikipedia, and is based on a 1995 CIA ethnolinguistic map. The version here is identified as from 2007, with some changes made by wikipedia commons editors (visible changes in Abkhazia and other places). The changes are marked as disputed and unsourced, and it does seem like someone took the letters marking general presence of an ethnolinguistic group (indicating sporadic presence) from the 1995 map and converted those letters into solid bands. This does seem to be a dubious change, as I cannot find any support for this solid separation of groups in Abkhazia and elsewhere.
Hmm
Makes sense why the map doesn't show Kurdish populations then..
Back in the day, Kurdish was banned and later it was unbanned
If a similar study was made again it would have Kurdish majority areas instead of Turkmen
many (all?) kurds would disagree with that classification
Being classified as an Iranian language? Or would you like it to be broken down into Sorani, Kurmanji etc?
with the classification "peoples", not the language
would you like it to be broken down into Sorani, Kurmanji etc?
me, i don't care.
Cool so I'm 100% not Caucasian, with people would stop calling me that based on the color of my skin
I’ve always wondered why you chose “Caucasian” as the euphemism for “White”
