Future of communities, is directly linked to the past is a thinker and writer, who denied ever ever did. Therefore, every society to accept and discuss any subject related to its past state. Because the future is based on him again. Possible denial of commitment to the roots of non-essential. Values that have an identity within the whole of society acquires its own identity on the basis of these changes, grows and uygarlaşır.
How do you do?
Advanced form of society, the "nation" based on the basic principles of being esprisinin-criteria, culture and communities on nationalistic adventure has taken place here to mention them in and out of our topic is a condition that requires special expertise.
So, Ala, how do we know we are past?
The science of the date the right way.
Lost in the process, many cultures have existed in Anatolia and the communities and between them representing the "nationalistic" phase gives us information on what 's gone.
What is the role of the rare and we are on the Anatolian Turks?
New dimensions to the question can be different. Before that, I recently lived in Anatolia and the living must remember the merging of different communities. In this context, the last representatives of the cultures that existed in Anatolia, Turks, Kurds, Armenians and Greeks. Of course, cultures are represented in smaller communities outside of them has been, and experienced.
So, how would know them?
Thanks to its various sub-branches, and we know the date and find out. Looking at the history of the Republic of the "official" history written in terms of the 1930s period. Historical periods of Western scholars before him had also learned much of the information.
Midhat Pasha, the Ottoman period in history was done by the most serious work written by him is the date the most reliable local history.
Known and proven knowledge of today, according to documents in Anatolia, "front the Turks referred to as" some other groups of people lived in tribes and Turks together with the leading isolated society in almost every area. For example, the ancient Grecian civilization, "Krak" is established by the Turks, the ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations, "Turkish race" was the work of the claims that are certified. On the other hand the Huns, the Mongols and the dates of Kipchak "Turk", unless otherwise indicated. A portion of them "Turks" by giving the title of "superior value" can be illustrated in efforts to gain.
Then, that Jesus had with the great revolutions in Anatolia, the name of religion ... The majority of those outside of Judaism, the religion of fire worshipers, pagans, shamans, and had a polytheistic beliefs in Anatolia ...
OS 7 and 8 By the new century, these communities in Anatolia, which have shown themselves as identities, so that the "nation, period," he began a period. It has shown itself in the most advanced stage of the Seljuk and Ottoman period in particular. Marjinalleştirilmiştir these historical issues by historians working in these fields.
Post dates in the Republican period is always "official date" was asked to be left in the dock. The allegations of purification / decontamination operations started in 1939. However, the approach to the allegations, "does not change the essence of business because" it continued.
The people who accused of having, in general, want to look at different issues and the "nation state" the philosophy of those who oppose. Throughout history, many cultures and people of Anatolia "native country in return," is that on the basis of the existing property, the Anatolian spirit that withstood the basis of multi-culturalism and multi-inançlılık, this spirit is the source of this feature.
In this context, the spirit of Anatolia, today's "nation" to which we owe our presence in the emerging fusion of multi-culturalism and multi-inançlılık filtering. Indigenous cultures of Anatolia, the Seljuk and Ottoman without a deep understanding of their faith in Anatolia today, "Turk" would not have sovereignty. In other words, the essence of being a Turkish nation today, we are indebted for the source of the Seljuk and Ottoman history is the work of evolution.
Adopting the spirit of the Anatolian people, in essence a "belonging" and "citizenship" when it comes to giving a sense, that they are located in the historical process should be based on this. Seljuk, Ottoman and Anatolian people of the Republic an ongoing historical process, "self" has become the rule. Fret it, parse it, in any way will not be able to destroy.
In this context, the "Turkish", "Kurdish" is not meant to distinguish the yeast does not take any time the spirit of the ... Therefore, race-based Anatolia "ethnicity" not recommend and lay. Today and in the future should be the value and belonging, "Turkey" and its citizens to live with a date-oriented övünmektir identity.
For this, the last building in Anatolia, the "Republic of Turkey" to write the history of those who write and those who want to have to give importance to the two main issues:
1-Anatolian Turks and Kurds have adopted the spirit of the meeting and fusion of the same geographical area.
Without the inclusion of 2-front in the thousand-year period associated with the Turks, unified the whole of life and values the partnership.
This has been the basis for two main principles of the Republic of Turkey. These values are ignored and the republic established by the Turkish nation and its not about any one has the right to dispose of. This is the political will nor the right, nor the decision of someone else ... founding philosophy of the nation with its own will and his life-blood has been shed. Stresses, and imported from outside the will of the nation's plans will not work.
When was this meeting of Anatolia, the Turkish-Kurdish?
Micro-nationalism (Kurdish separatism), speaking on behalf of employees, and a main goal to destroy the whole nation has values, racial sense, "etnisist" develop and promote the idea ...
According to those who roll their own ideologies in this swamp of micro-nationalism try to write the history. In other words, micro-nationalism (Kurdish separatism), which is a version of the claims, rather than the unity of the spirit of Anatolia, are based on racial criteria of belonging.
Today, the foundation of the event is happening within the borders of the Republic of Turkey, is a version of belonging to racial, Southeastern Anatolia and the executive work place based on prompt.
Falsely claiming to be authentic Kurdish homeland in Anatolia, the main owners of this land, "Kurds," he asserted. That racial-based micro-nationalists (Kurdish separatists), and especially by the Turks came to Anatolia from 1071 to the South-and Eastern Anatolia Anatolia "occupation" were. Micro-nationalism that advocated racial separatist "corner doorman" authors, historical events and processes in different communities in Anatolia, "meeting" the eye, not the "conflict" they look through the eyes of not dissemble.
If the assets in only Turks in Anatolia or maintained only if they were Kurds in Anatolia, the multi-culturalism and assimilation would not be very inançlılık atmosphere. So Selçukluluk, Ottomanism and finally oluşmazdı republican culture. Moreover, the original homeland of the ancient Kurds of Anatolia, a feature common instead of covering certain areas, the mountainous region of western Iran and Lake Van, which is low on the "Carduchi", involving a limited geography includes topography. The documents are available in the historical sources. Brownson, for example, even published a map of it. Also founded by Sultan Sanjar "Kurdistan" in the same geography, the present state of "Hamadan" historical sources also reported that region.
Cultures of Anatolia and the gate-bridge-rich genetic pool, because it can be actually owns the land debate, it always looks likely to continue to be.
If the "Kurdish" micro-nationalists said were true, there would be dominated by the Roman and Byzantine 1071'li in the Eastern Anatolian lands. Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia, the Armenian, Assyrian, Greek and Christian Arab tribes would not be living in the region of Diyarbakir.
So, if the "Kurdish" micro-nationalists in Anatolia said were true, "Kurdish" written works, monuments, inscriptions, architectural work would be. In this region, "Kurdish" a single work of art, architecture, artifacts, monuments, no inscriptions. What libraries, archaeological excavations, nor ...
These claims "pawn" forced the positions required to be created as a result of the effort. At that time the meaning of these historical facts, what happens?
7. and 8.yy. At the end of the Abbasid Caliph in raids from their conquests with armies to Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia to Islam Muslim Arabs came to the Kurdish tribes. After them came the Turkmen tribes in eastern Anatolia.
With communities living in Anatolia, which have a "pre-Turks", they varied in the context of a culture and belief. Anatolia, the Islamization of the structure before you had a very different demographic.
Taking a big war and the entrance of the Turks of Anatolia were recorded in 1071. In fact, this great war, the fusion of Byzantine and Turkish-Islamic struggle. The biggest proof of this, 10 thousand volunteer army of Kurds in the presence of Manzikert Alparslan. This means that the Turkish-Kurdish people against Byzantium "Islam" is an expression of the fusion under the umbrella. In other words, under the leadership of Manzikert Alparslan won the war, in fact, this occasion is a symbol of the Turkish-Kurdish meeting.
11-12. century, the dominant Christian communities around the Southeast Anatolia, Urfa, and is regarded as a center in this region, "the Crusader County of of" the establishment is very striking. This is also living in the area of Christian elements in the population has occurred as that of the Kurdish-Muslim.
Movements at the beginning of the Islamization of Anatolia Seljuk conquests are conquests-Turkmen. Indeed, after its conquests in Eastern Anatolia, "Turcomania" That's why is called. Historical records and sociological sources, a combination of the Kurds and Turks, and a separate assessment to be spread over more east of the Euphrates.
Migration and Demographic Changes ...
Not only did the Turks arrived in Anatolia after the confined spaces of constant marched towards the west; targets "salt sea", respectively. Indeed, from north to south, scroll to the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and from there to reach the Hun empire Egeye reached kurarlarken. Interestingly, this migration and demographic movements, very different regions is revealed along with new situations. Ottoman Empire, with the exception of any Turkish community in Europe, or Africa, did not reach beyond the salt sea.
Selected and maintained so as the Anatolian homeland.
A large part of Eastern Anatolia to the Turks who entered some of them walking towards the Aegean Sea had been in place. For example, the capital of Seljuks Ahlat first ever Turkish culture "monuments" to remain in striking. Vivid example of this today, the first Muslim cemetery in Anatolia, located in Van Ahlat accident which should be regarded as a masterpiece of monumental tombs nature. Tombstones of artistic sophistication, age, reached the upper limits, is still up in Elazığ subtlety and ingenuity of needle lace made oyasıyla wishing stone lace adorns the grave stones. This memorial tombstones were examined, all of nature, despite the brutality and negligence of the state, they are protected from the Seljuk Turks indicate the level of artistic value. Ahlat'taki the first Turkish-Muslim cemetery in Anatolia, in a sense pushing the limits of reason and grace of this monument, tombstones artistic vitality, meaning, depth, established by the Islamic Andalucia, Spain, Granada, still visit the center and the "Alhambra" palace of stone protected as a cultural and artistic document equivalent workmanship. This is the Turkish-Muslim cemetery shows how even the Eastern Anatolia. What is the pain that it knows and what the enlightened officials who live to what has been adequately evaluated.
On the other hand during the Ayyubids Iran, northern Iraq, Anatolia, especially in the east of the Euphrates is known to accelerate the migration of the Kurdish tribes.
In addition, 15 century, culminating in the beginning, and then together in a sense, the Turkmen Sunni and Shiite Turkmen kırdırıldığı Ottoman-Safavid conflict, migration to Anatolia, Iran, Sunni and a Kurd, Alevi Turkmen migration from Anatolia to Iran was also. this event, the population in the region affecting the movements of the sociological demography has changed incredibly.
"Kürtleşen" Turkmen ...
This demographic change was the result of assimilations in Eastern Anatolia. A large part of the Turkmen tribes who migrated to eastern Anatolia plateau, and plains inhabited "Kürtleştiler". Even today, it is possible to witness the most typical examples of this. For example, the Urfa region, settled in the area Ceylanpınar and Siverek "Kürtleşen" Karakeçili tribe, members of the Diyarbakir Karacadağ settled again, "Kürtleşen" Examples include hundreds of Turkmen tribes.
Therefore, the Kurdish population in the Southeastern and Eastern Anatolian regions, such as micro-nationalists claimed the ancient "Angels" and "Mitanni" in more, but in the process of Islamization of Anatolia Seljuk and Ottoman domination is the result of a formed as a result of demographic changes in population.
Türkleşen as a result of these population movements over centuries the Kurds, Turkmen Kürtleşen Anatolia is composed of a mixture formed as a result of the demographic population mobility. Today, there are similar examples, such as Izmir, Istanbul, increasing the "Kurdish" origin citizens in time profile of the population of these cities one can guarantee değiştirmeyeceklerini. These are societies in motion at any time.
"Kurdish" micro-history as a source of nationalism, which they have accepted the basic Şerefname'de states, Oguz Khan, Hz. Claim that the envoy sent by the Prophet of Kurdish origin. Although this assumption is Şerefname'deki "myth" although it is considered as a fusion of Turkish-Kurdish message to be given a sign indicating how important it is.
Although today was a prisoner of the imperialist dissatisfaction, as claimed by ethnic nationalists in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia authentic "home" to its "occupation" in the alleged attempts to keep the agenda, is less chance of finding favor. Micro-nationalism, and directed to the public, and especially conditioned by the "young" population, an attractive, even though this is not easy to continue. The merits and the lining is not made up at a desk, a fictional assumption.
Those hoping for help from micro-nationalism and imperialism theorists who concocted by his profession to be a tool of theoretical fiction. Is not the truth, and to endeavor to learn the truth and learn the facts for that difficult job, have not been provided by the state for its educational programs, social life for our people, unfortunately, this situation is emerging anlatılmadığı these facts, supplying micro-nationalism can see reputation as a legend. It is our job, the right thing, and people put forward to explain the real thing to find. Later due to losses and destructions "regret" does not sense.
In recent days, in order to be applied on Turkey, prepared by international actors, gives the impression of power projects and plans with his hand placed on the market of political will. At the end of the First World War by the Western imperial, Anatolia, the Turkish nation was to be destroyed, the heroes are the essence of the "extermination" war of independence plan "no" and to say that the defeat of Western imperial head hazmedemediler kept. State of the Republic of Turkey founded by Mustafa Kemal sindiremediler into a kind. This is all the troubles. Stalemate in the political will is now planted himself thrown out by the "opening", scatter "," avoidance "in this comedy of" indigestion "is useful to recall that as a result of the game.
**
Another issue where the Turkish-Kurdish unity into question, these cultures in Anatolia "Islamization" against the Kurds as a result of the merger under the umbrella of help to solve the For example, the Kurds in Anatolia, the Seljuk and the Ottoman Empire in the "back bıraktırmış" Is it?
If not for the rule of the Turkish states in Anatolia today, micro-nationalism, which claims that separatist "Kurdish" heads would be at the disposal of what and whom?
Here is one of the important questions to be queried. Laftır rest ...
