Abstract

Focusing on the period between 1878 and 1913, this paper seeks to add to the growing literature highlighting the complexities of identity in the late Ottoman period through an examination of the attitudes of Kurdish political activists towards the specific question of the dissolution of Ottoman rule on the Balkan Peninsula. More precisely, it will be argued that, although it is impossible to identify a single Kurdish response to Ottoman troubles in the Balkans, a survey of contemporaneous publications indicates that many leading Kurdish public figures of the period, including those active within the nascent Kurdish movement, regarded Ottoman imperial collapse as a profoundly negative political development. Abstract in Kurmanji: Bersivên kurdan bo paşketina împeretoriyê: Tevgera kurdî û dawiya desthilata Osmanî li Balkanan (1878-1913) Ev gotar berê xwe dide nivîsînên her zêdetir ên li ser tevliheviya nasnameyê di serdema dawî ya Osmaniyan de bi rêya tehlîlkirina helwêstên çalakvanên siyasî yên kurd li hember pirsa hilweşîna desthilata Osmanî li Balkanan, bi taybetî di qonaxa ji 1878 heta 1913an. Bi gotineke deqîqtir, gotar wê hizrê dide pêş ku herçend xeyrî mumkîn e ku yek bersiveke kurdan ya bi tenê bê destnîşankirin ji bo kêşeyên Osmaniyan li herêma Balkanan, nirxandineke weşanên hevçerx diyar dike ku gelek kesayetên naskirî yên kurd, ewên ku di tevgera nûzayî ya kurdî de çalak bûn jî di nav de, hilweşîna împeretoriya Osmanî wek geşedaneke gelek negatîv didîtin.
