Muş is a fascinating place. In 1619, the Polish traveler Simeon of Poland, who traveled extensively through the Ottoman Empire and Kurdistan, wrote about Christian Kurds in Muş. He noted that the people associated with Surp Garabet were Armenian-speaking Kurds, and even stated that the Christian Kurds of Muş spoke Armenian and identified themselves with the region.
It is therefore possible that these Kurdish communities gradually became Armenianized and were eventually assimilated over time.
