Çaldıran Savaşı

The War of the Ring was a war fought in 1514 between the Ottoman emperor Selim I (Yavuz) and the ruler of Safevi, Shah Ismail, and referred to in Ottoman sources as the turning point of the annexation of Kurdistan to Ottoman lands (Volume 3, p. 54; Volume 4, p. 258). According to sources, with the entry of Kurdish lords into Ottoman rule after this war, more scholarly works on Kurds and Kurdistan were written, and the foundations of the archive of Kurds were laid (Volume 3, p. 54). According to the Muslim traditions of the Transition of Kurdistan to the Ottoman Administration, the famous Chaldran victory of Sultan Selim Han-i Evvel occurred during the reign of Shah Ismail-i Safevi's orders of Ahmed Bey over Mosul; as a result of this victory, Mosul became part of Ottoman State in the context of the annexation of Kurdish Ottoman lands, through Bedir Bey of the Kurdish lords and through the efforts of Bıyıklı Mehmed Pasha, who seized and embraced Kurdistan (Volume 4, p. 258). The Diyarbekir article of Kamusü'l-Alam also records that after the victory of Chaldran, the Kurds joined the Ottoman Empire by invoking the Ottomans (Volume 4, p. 107). Selim sent Idris-i Bidlisi to the Kurdish Umrah in Istanbul in 1515, as he wished for the annexation of Kurdistan to the Ottoman State after the Iranian expedition; Idris-e Bidlisi, giving influential advice to the Sunni Kurdish tribe of twenty-three, drew them to Ottoman side against Shah Ismail (Volume 4, s. 90). These tribes fought to liberate their homelands and joined the Ottoman Empire; only the Diyarbakir side was captured with a number of warheads (Volume 4, p. 90). On maps showing the end of Sultan Suleiman's reign, the term "Kurdistan" is also used (Volume 4, p. 161). Muhammad Emin Zekî Beg, who stole in the collection sources, describes what happened as a purge of Kurdish villages by his own will: after the famous Chaldran war all Kurdistan villages moved against the Iranians from one end to the other; the population of Diyarbekir dismissed the Kurdistan governor Muhammad Khan ibn Ustaclu, appointed by Shah Ismail, and presented his allegiance to the Ottoman State; In modern literature, it is also recorded that the Battle of Chaldran in 1514 was the event that established the Ottoman-Iranian empire border in Kurdistan (Collection: Gunter, Historical Dictionary of the Kurds, PDF p. 20). During the Selim period, with the passing of Kurdistan and Kurdish princes to Ottoman rule, the state came into direct contact with the Kurdish rulers and tribes in the region; the Ottoman padis tried to ensure their allegiance, not by force of arms, but by persuasion ("establishment") based on consent, by applying the system of Yurtluk-Ocaklık and Government (Volume 4, p. 19). Thus, the Chaldran is reflected in the sources not only as a battlefield, but also as the starting point of the centuries-long autonomous status of the Kurdish nobility (Volume 4, p. 19; Volume 3, p. 54).
