Russia's Kurdish Policy-From the Beginning to 1947

Russia's Kurdish Policy - From the Beginning to 1947 Book Description IV. Russia's expansionist policy, which was founded with Ivan and started with Peter, developed by establishing special relationships in its close circle and making them feel privileged. Russia tried to benefit from the ethnic and social structure in Eastern Anatolia by seizing the Black Sea and the Caucasus, and in this way aimed to reach the Mediterranean. In line with this goal, he sees two great powers: the Ottoman and Iran. The Russians communicated and cooperated with the Kurds, who are ethnic identities in these two states. Russians approached the Kurds as an auxiliary factor in ensuring the security of their southern and western borders and in their Near East policy (policies towards Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria). Even though their names and regimes have changed since the time the Russians met the Kurds, the main idea in Kurdish policy has not changed, just like in a matryoshka. The book in your hand will shed light on Russian-Kurdish relations and provide the necessary historical background to understand Russia's Kurdish policy. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
