The future of societies, past, who deny that there is no direct connection so far has not a thinker and writer. Therefore, every society to accept their own history and discuss any aspect of the state. Because the future is based on him again. Commitment is essential that the roots of which can not be disbelieved. Values within the whole of society, which has its own identity, an identity based on these changes and acquires, develops and uygarlaşır.
How do you do?
Advanced form of society, the "nation" based on the basic principles of being esprisinin-criteria, between culture and society has been replaced milletleşme adventure; them is irrelevant to mention here, and is a condition that requires special expertise.
So, Ala., we can know how our past?
The most accurate way to the science of history.
And many cultures have existed in Anatolia have been lost in the process of representing communities, and they "milletleşme" on the stage of history you can see from passersby.
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 should remember kaynaştığını different societies. In this context, the last representatives of the cultures have existed in Anatolia, the Turks, Kurds, Armenians and Greeks. Of course, outside of these small communities has been, and has experienced the cultures are represented.
So, how would know them?
We know through history and its various sub-branches, and will learn. Look at the history of the Republic of the "official" sense of history, written in the 1930 period. Western researchers for the periods prior to that date most of the information we learn again.
Midhat Pasha, the Ottoman period in history was made by the most serious work by the date of his most trusted local history.
Known and proven knowledge of the documents today, according to Anatolia, a "pre-Turks", called tribes, and Turks lived together with some other groups of people, leading in almost every area toplumdu. For example, the ancient Grecian civilization, "Krak" is established by the Turks, in the ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations, "Turkish race" was the work of the claims that are certified. On the other hand the Huns, Mongols, and the dates of Kipchak "Turks," he expressed. A portion of these "Turks" by giving the title of "superior value" may be shown in the efforts to gain.
Then, that Jesus was with the great revolutions in Anatolia, the name of religion ... The majority of those outside of Judaism, the religion of fire worship, heathens, shamans, and had a polytheistic beliefs in Anatolia ...
OS 7 and 8 By the new century in Anatolia, these communities who have shown themselves as identities, so that the "nation, period," he began a period. The most advanced stage of the Seljuk and Ottoman period in particular has shown itself. By historians working on topics in these areas marjinalleştirilmiştir this.
Post dates in the Republican period, always in an "official date" was asked to be left in the dock. These allegations of purification / decontamination operations started in 1939. However, the approach to the allegations, "does not change the essence of the work because" it continued.
This is who accused of having, in general terms, the subject who wants to look different, and "nation-state," the philosophy of those who oppose. Throughout history, many cultures and people of Anatolia "YURTLU" 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 had not absorb in their faith today in Anatolia "Turks" would not have sovereignty. In other words, the essence of being a Turkish nation today, we are indebted to the source, is the work of the evolution of the Seljuk and Ottoman history.
Adopting the spirit of the Anatolian people, in essence a "belonging" and "citizenship" when it comes to give a sense, that they are located in this historic process should be based. Seljuk and Ottoman Anatolia to the people of the ongoing historical process, a "self" has become the rule. Wear it, parse, in any way will not be able to destroy.
In this context, the "Turkish", "Kurdish" ... Therefore, the separation should not keep the yeast does not follow the spirit of Anatolia never a race-based "ethnicity" not offer, and lay. Today and in the future should be the value and belonging, "Turkey" the identity of a citizen-focused history and with it övünmektir to live with.
For this, the last building in Anatolia, the "Republic of Turkey" who want to write and to write the history of the two main ones have to give importance to the issue:
1-Anatolian Turks and Kurds have adopted the spirit of the meeting and fusion of the same geographical area.
2-Front, including the period before the Turks in the thousand-year association, unified the whole of life and values the partnership.
This has been based on the formation of two main principles of the Republic of Turkey. These values are taken into account on the republic founded by the Turkish nation and its right to make any disposition can not be no one. This is what the right political will, nor on the other ... the decision of the Founding philosophy, the nation with its own will and his life-blood has been shed. Imported from outside the will of the nation's challenges and plans will not work.
When was the meeting of Anatolia, the Turkish-Kurdish?
Micro-nationalism (Kurdish separatism) and speaking on behalf of those who seek to destroy the whole of the nation's values are a main target of racial sense, "etnisist" develop and promote the idea ...
According to their ideology of nationalism in the micro-write the history of the swamp of those who try to roll. In other words, the micro-nationalism (Kurdish separatism), which is a version of the claims, not the unity of spirit in 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 racial belonging, place and carry out work at the Southeastern Anatolia is based.
Falsely claiming to be authentic Kurdish homeland in Anatolia, the main owners of this land, "the Kurds" argue that. That racial-based micro-nationalists (Kurdish separatists) from 1071, the Turks came to Anatolia, and particularly South-and Eastern Anatolia Anatolia, including "occupation" were. Micro-nationalism that advocated racial separatist "corner doorman," the authors, historical events and the different communities in Anatolia in the process of "meeting" through the eyes, not the "conflict" they were looking through the eyes of gizleyememektedirler.
Maintained only if they were assets of the Turks in Anatolia, or if you just 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 Kurds in ancient Anatolia, a common feature that covers certain areas, rather than below them, and the West in Iran, the mountainous region of Lake Van, the "Carduchi" the geography of the area into a limited includes topography. This documentation is available in historical sources. Brownson, for example, even published a map of it. Also founded by Sultan Sanjar "Kurdistan" in the same province, the geography of today's "Hamedan" historical sources also reported that region.
Cultures of Anatolia, and the gate-bridge-rich genetic pool, because it can be really owns this land dispute, will likely continue to be always.
If the "Kurdish" micro-nationalists said were true, would not have been under the rule of 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 were true, Anatolia said, "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 are "pawns" of being forced to want to create the positions as a result of the efforts. So what is the meaning of these historical facts?
7. and 8.yy. At the end of the Abbasid Caliph's armies to Anatolia from their raids Southeast Anatolia, with the conquests of Muslim Arabs and the Kurdish tribes who came to Islam. They then came to 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, İslamlaşmasından ago had a very different demographic structure.
The arrival of the Turks in Anatolia and the entry has been recorded as 1071 because of a major war occur. In fact, this great war, Byzantine and Turkish-Islamic kaynaşmasının struggle. This is the biggest proof is that Kurds Malazgirt Arslan's army of 10 thousand volunteers. This means that the Turkish-Kurdish people against Byzantium "Islam" is an expression of kaynaşmasının under the umbrella. In other words, under the leadership of Malazgirt Arslan won the war, in fact, on the occasion of a meeting of the symbol of the Turkish-Kurdish.
11-12. century, considered as the center of Urfa in Southeast Anatolia and around the Christian communities that dominate this region, "Crusader Kontluğu" the establishment of an extremely dramatic situation. This is also the Kurdish-Muslim population living in the region show that different elements of being Christian.
Islamization movements at the beginning of the conquest of Anatolia Seljuk conquests come-Turkmen. Indeed, after its conquests in Eastern Anatolia, "Turcomania" is the reason why they say. History books and records of sociological, Kurds and Turks together, and they are more spread out east of the Euphrates, a separate assessment.
Migrations and Demographic Changes ...
After the Turks arrived in Anatolia in restricted areas only were constantly moved to the West, aims "salt sea", respectively. Indeed, from north to south, scroll to the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and from there to reach the Hun empire kurarlarken Egeye reached. 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, reached beyond the salt sea.
Home country and it is selected as the Anatolian preserved.
A large part of Eastern Anatolia to the Turks arriving in some places had only walked into the Aegean Sea. For example, the first capital of Seljuks Ahlat Turkish culture up to now, "monuments" to remain in striking. Vivid example of this, the first Muslim cemetery in Anatolia today, and the Van Ahlat accident which should be regarded as a masterpiece of monumental tombs nature. Burial taşlarındaki artistic sophistication, age, reached the upper limits, are still in the Elazig region oyasıyla needle lace up to decorate the grave stones in the subtlety and ingenuity, wishing stone lace. This monument is the tomb stones are examined, and neglected by all the harshness of nature, although they are protected from the Seljuk Turks show the level of artistic value. Ahlat'taki the first Turkish-Muslim cemetery in Anatolia, in a sense, the mind of this mausoleum taşlarındaki pushes the boundaries of artistic vitality and grace, depth of meaning, established by the Umayyads of Andalusia in Granada, Spain, and visit the center, still the "Alhambra" palace of stone document is protected as a cultural and artistic workmanship equivalent. This cemetery is a Turkish-Muslim shows how even the Eastern Anatolia. How bitter it and knows that the authorities nor the intellectuals who live by what has been adequately evaluated.
On the other hand Ayyubids era 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 in a sense, the Sunni and Shiite Turkmen Turkmen kırdırıldığı Ottoman-Safavid conflict to each other, Sunni Kurdish migration to Anatolia, Iran, Anatolia, Iran also has the Alevi Turkmen migration. In this event, the population in the region movements affecting the sociological demographic has changed incredibly.
"Kürtleşen" Turkmen ...
This demographic shift was the result of assimilation of Eastern Anatolia. Turkmen tribes who migrated to eastern Anatolia plateau and the plains inhabited by a large part of the "Kürtleştiler". It is possible to witness the most typical examples of this, even today. For example, the Urfa region, settled in the area and Siverek Ceylanpinar "Kürtleşen" Karakeçili tribe members, to settle in Diyarbakir Karacadag the "Kürtleşen" as hundreds of Turkmen tribes, to name a few.
Therefore, the Kurdish population of southeastern and eastern Anatolia regions, such as micro-nationalists would have us believe, the ancient "Angels" and "Mitanni" in not more, 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 formed as a result of demographic mobility of the population is composed of a mixture of Anatolia. Today, there are similar examples, such as Izmir, Istanbul, increasing the "Kurdish" origin, citizens of these cities over time, one can guarantee not change their population profile. These are societies in motion at any time.
"Kurdish" micro-nationalism as a resource base on which they have accepted Şerefname'de states, Oguz Khan, Hazrat. The claim that the envoy sent by the Messenger of Kurdish origin. Although this assumption is Şerefname'deki "myth" although it is considered as giving the desired message to the Turkish-Kurdish kaynaşmasının a sign showing how important it is.
Although today was a prisoner of the imperialist doyumsuzluğun as claimed by ethnic nationalists in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia, the "authentic country" in its "occupation" in the alleged attempted to be kept on the agenda, is less chance of finding supporters. Micro-nationalism, folk and especially conditioned and directed the "young" population, an attractive, though it is not easy to bring more. The basis of this, and the lining is not made up at a desk, a fictional assumption.
Those hoping for help from micro-nationalism and imperialism, to be a self-employed who escapement invented by theorists theoretical construct. For the truth, and not endeavor to learn the truth and learn the facts for that difficult job, with the hand of the state are not included in training programs, social life for our people, unfortunately, this situation is emerging anlatılmadığı these facts, supplying the micro-nationalism can see reputation as a legend. It is our job, the right thing, find and reveal the true one and to tell our people. Later losses and destruction because of the "repentance" does not mean that.
In recent days, in order to be applied on Turkey, prepared by international actors in the power of political will which gives the impression of plans and projects in his hand placed on the market. At the end of the First World War by the Western imperial, Anatolia, the Turkish nation to be destroyed, while the essence of the heroes of this "destruction" plan of war of Independence "no" to call and kept the defeatist hazmedemediler Western imperial head. State of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal, a kind of built into the sindiremediler. This is all the troubles. Thrown out by the sting of political will is now a dead end in itself "opening", scatter "," Avoid "comedy, this" indigestion "is useful to recall that as a result of the game.
**
Here, the Turkish-Kurdish combination Another issue to be queried, these cultures in Anatolia "Islamization" was against the Kurds as a result of the merger under the umbrella of the Is? For example, the Kurds of Anatolia, the Seljuk and Ottoman domination of the "back bıraktırmış" Is it?
If the Turks in Anatolia today without the micro-nationalism, which claims sovereignty of states separatist "Kurdish" heads would be at the disposal of what and who?
Here is one of the important questions to be queried. The rest laftır ...
