Efendinin Suçunu Üstlenmek - Kürt Tarihinde Direniş ve İşbirlikçilik

“Taking the Effendi's Crime” includes our articles that have been published in various newspapers and magazines over the last few years. The subjects of the articles are mostly the concepts of resistance and cooperation. The declaration on the Sheikh Said Rebellion written by İhsan Nuri, the monument of resistance, 96 years ago, and the letter sent by Pir Seyit Rıza, who addressed Europe on behalf of 8 million Kurds, to the Sevres Peace Committee 102 years ago, are at a level that requires a re-examination of Kurdish historiography. are important documents.

You will also come across information and documents about the Armenian genocide in this book. As a matter of fact, you will see the extent of Kurdish participation in the Armenian Genocide and the answers given to not innocent polemics regarding this participation. In this sense, "Taking the Master's Crime" is a strong response to the mentality that wants to criminalize Kurdish history through a terrible crime against humanity such as the 1915 Armenian Genocide, and refutes their baseless theses one by one. In response to the efforts of official historians, who adopted the mentality of the Ottoman Empire and its successor Kemalist republic as a religion, in recent years to portray the Kurdish society of the period as the main perpetrator of the genocide, we tried to reveal how the 1915 genocide was organized by the state officials themselves, starting from the CUP regime. In this context, you will find articles about Bekir Sami Kunduh, the Young Turks' governor of Van-Aleppo and the Kemalists' first Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the late Ottoman politics designed with the Turkist method to reach the Red Apple.

Do not think that the articles about the adventure of Fatma, a Kurd from Patnos who raised Israel's ambassador to Turkey, Gabby Levy, and Dengbêj Zahiro, who composed songs for "Blonde-Blue-Eyed" German women, will take you out of the context of the book. Because, in the historical background of both issues, there were the concepts of "resistance" and "Cooperation".
