The handwritten caption on this photo seems to identify these men as Kurds. Is this incorrect then?

I also asked a local friend here in Armenia and was told they were more likely Laz than Kurds, but I'm not an expert in this

Cool Batak?

I see a piso podang and some interesting spears; not to mention some badiks.
Also the figure on the left seems to have an absurdly large pedang or parang; would love to see what kind of blade is in that scabbard.
