Actually, these issues are much more closely related to Arab culture than either Turkish or Kurdish and are even more closely linked to poorly educated, backwards social groups within any culture that has been infected with Arabic misogyny.

Before (rightfully in many regards) rising to rule over the Arabs, the Turks were initially conquered and converted to Islam by Arabic invaders in one of history's bizarre brief anomalies (ie Arab armies briefly not being defeated in battle by other cultures immediately following the rise of Islam). It was during this period that FGM and honour killing were introduced to the many far, far more culturally advanced races the Arabs almost unbelievably conquered (eg Kurds, Turks, Persians).

The Kurds, in particular, are a highly-cultured Persiatic race with a far richer cultural tradition than Arabs, particularly the "low Arabs" of the Arabian Peninsula.

These days such backwards vestiges of Arab cultural influence are mainly confined to areas where the people are ill-educated and living in poverty (ie as per traditional - pre-petrodollar - Arabic lifestyles/cultural preferences), which, given the Turkish government's campaign of cultural oppression against the Kurds (all minorities in Turkey really) very sadly includes a disproportionate percentage of Kurdish peoples in the southeast of the country where the war on the Kurds has been waged most savagely by the "abominable Turk" (to borrow the traditional, descriptive phrase used by the civilised peoples of Europe to describe the Turks with their predisposition towards bestial brutality).

Remember people that the greatest military commander in the history of all of the peoples of Asia Minor in the common era was Saladin, the Kurdish general who alone was capable of defeating Richard the Lionheart, the English Crusader king from whom all Arabs ran, screaming like little girls in battle, after battle, after battle.
