everyone in the region hates the Kurds, from Turkey to Iran to Syria to both the Sunni and Shia elements of Iraq.
Why? Cause when the English and French partitioned the middle East into countries, they did so haphazardly. And many conflicting ethnic groups got lumped into a single country, like Iraq with the Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites.
The Kurds are just one of those unlucky ethnic/cultural groups with a strong national and cultural identity, but no country. They are divided between turkey, Iraq, Syria, Iran. And they are loyal to their Kurdish identity and want a Kurdish state. Thus they are naturally treated as subversive in every country which they currently reside.
