A geopolitical reading of post-Chaldiran Kurdish political history

The Battle of Chaldiran was the most important and influential battle in the Middle East in the last five hundred years. A battle that, in addition to changing the political, religious and cultural geography of the Middle East, created the greatest tension in the last one hundred years in the northern Mesopotamia regions, namely the Kurds, who were born from the Battle of Chaldiran.Many critics consider the Battle of Chaldiran a religious battle between two emerging states, and they have been unaware of the variable called "Kurd and Kurdistan" in this conflict and its consequences for the geography of the Kurds.geopolitical bottleneck and religious geography of Kurdistan Due to the religious differences with the Safavids and the sectarian divide with the Hanafi Turks, it created the main "other" for the two powerful governments, and Kurdistan was the arena of this conflict. Due to their Iranism and interest in Sufism, the Kurds were attacked by the Ottomans, and due to their Sunni status, they were attacked by the Safavids.In this situation and due to the lack of trust between the two governments, the Kurds have always been dominant in Mesopotamia in the ebb and flow of these two fields. that until now these situations continue and Kurdish identity rebellions have also been formed in this context.In a way, it can even be said that the treaties of Sykes-Picot, Sevres, and Lausanne, which interpreted the present-day Middle East based on ethnic geography, were born from the Battle of Chaldiran.This research deals with the Kurdish political history in Chaldiran and post-Chaldiran and its border and identity implications for the Kurds of Mesopotamia with a descriptive-analytical method and a basic hermeneutic view.
