Sheikh Said Movement with British and French Archive Documents

In the words of Mois Kohen, who is of Jewish origin: "In Turkey, the true sword of God is in the clutches of the Crusaders and the pen of God is in the hands of the Turks... This sword and the pen were married. A society was born from this marriage, and the name of this society was 'Turkish.' "It is the Nation (Republic)."

The 1925 Kurdish Movement was the result of this Republic. Colonel Catroux, France's Military Attaché in Istanbul, said about the Sheikh Said Rebellion: "The problem facing Turkey is similar to the problems we had to solve in Algeria and Morocco by having to cross the mountains. Of course, not only with military operations, but also with political preparation and appropriate "With an administrative effort, leaving Kurdistan in its social organization and economic misery..." he says.

French intellectual Jean Paul Sartre accused France of committing a massacre in Algeria, saying "We are all murderers and colonialism is a system."

The Republic's Kurdish policy was no different from France's Algeria policy. Why was Sheikh Said forced to take action and accused of being a British agent?

Who was behind the Kurds, what was the function of the Azadi Society, did Seyyid Abdulkadir make an agreement with the British? What was the policy of especially the British, French and Russians regarding this Kurdish movement, why did the movement not succeed?..

All these questions are answered in this study with its documents.
