Mazda Belief and Zoroastrian Teaching at the Origin of Alevism
"...Alevism was seen as a taboo until recently. While the name of Alevism was not even mentioned, recently a publication frenzy has started on this subject.
However, as with other problems of the region, we see that this problem is approached differently and in a distorted way. While a large portion of Alevis accept themselves as a sect of Islam, it cannot be said that their lifestyle and beliefs are compatible with Islam.
On the other hand, the administration of the Turkish State, which cannot be said to have adopted the legitimate position of Alevism, supports and operates the theses that 'Alevis are Turks and Kurds cannot be Alevis'. The monopolization of Alevism, which is known as a religious belief and philosophy of life, is also an interesting situation.
Here's how to respond to these distortions; In order to find the source of the cultural and religious basic principles and values of Alevism, I attempted to research the ancient religious beliefs of the region and the religious cultural values based on them...
"In this book, I try to reveal and explain that the Mazda religious belief and Zoroastrian doctrine are at the root of Alevi culture and its basic principles and values."
