1918-1923 Kurds from Mudros to Lausanne, Years of Deception and Deception of the Kurds

From the 1918 Treaty of Mudros; The short five-year period until the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne and the establishment of the Turkish Republic was a very important process for the Kurdish nation as well as the Turkish nation. This critical period between 1918-1923; The Turkish segment describes it as "years of national struggle", "years of the war of independence", "years of war against the seven powers" and knows it very well. The Kurdish community, on the other hand, does not know this period that determined their fate from the Kurdish perspective, so no naming has been made.

The five-year period from the end of 1918 to the summer months of 1923 was a period of life and death for the Kurds, the ancient people of Asia Minor. The Kurds could not see the importance of that period then, and they cannot understand it today, under the influence of the dominant historical narrative. The imperialist conspiracies that the Kurds faced at that time and the political games in which they were victimized were not accurately reflected on the world public opinion, as well as on the Kurds.

The most important reason why the negativities experienced today in the Middle East and Kurdistan are not correctly understood; This is due to the fact that those years, which are a kind of milestone when the problem arose, are not well known. The fact that the Kurds had different religions with the Armenians with whom they shared the same geography, but the same religion with the Turks, and that the Kurds and Armenians claimed rights over the same geography, caused the Kurds to be detrimental in this process, as they were the determinants of Kurdish policies at that time.

This book examines the period 1918-1923 from a Kurdish perspective, but from an objective perspective.
