In Robert Olson's own words, writing the history of the Ottoman and Turkey without examining the history and contributions of the Kurdish people is "like writing Soviet history without examining the history and influence of American blacks, American history, or the history and influence of Soviet Muslims." Olson also emphasizes that this conscious negligence of Turkish historians did not go unnoticed by Western social scientists.
