Horasan Kimin Yurdu?

Whose homeland is Khorasan?
Right-wing historiography, based on mystification and ignorance, puts forward the following argument:

"Khorasan has been the Turkish homeland since time immemorial. Those who live there are true Turks. Sufism and Alevism constitute the basis of Turkish Islam. Alperen dervishes carried the spirit of Turkishness to Anatolia and made gazavat to spread the Turkish language. Therefore, all Khorasan Alevis are Turks. "

Despite such great claims, very few studies have been done on the history of Khorasan in Turkey. This study examines the history of Khorasan and refutes the unscientific claims of the supporters of the Turkish History Thesis and the Turkish-Islamic Synthesis. It reveals that Khorasan has not been a Turkish homeland since time immemorial, and that the people living there have never known what is called true Turkishness. This book sheds light on the ancient, medieval and modern history of the ethnic groups living in Khorasan; It offers an opportunity to learn the truth by examining the adventure of the Turks, Kurds and Persians there. It contains important data about the rebellions of Abu Muslim Khorasani and his supporters, one of the most curious historical heroes. It also examines the preliminary formation of Anatolian Alevism. When you finish this book based on documents, you will decide whose homeland Khorasan is or is not and you will enjoy reading an unofficial history essay.
