Sorry but there can be no justification for banning a language, especially a language as old as Kurdish. Moreover, we are talking about the citizens whose rights are protected by constitution so the previous policy was a human rights violation.

Not sure how many people would get it (I hadn't heard of it before my research just now), but a Z option is the Treaty of Zuhab, which ended the Ottoman-Safavid War and established some important borders (Ottomans got Mesopotamia, and the two split Caucasia). Also, another option is the Zagros mountains, which extend partly into modern Turkey and seem to have formed a lot of the eastern border of the Ottoman Empire.
