Yerevan/Mediamax/. Stanford University Press issued a book by American
historian Janet Klein "The Margins of Empire. Kurdish Militias in
the Ottoman Tribal Zone" which addresses the Ottoman authorities'
policy aimed at using Kurds against Armenian population.
The author touches upon Turkish-Kurdish relations at the turn of the
twentieth century in his almost 300-page research, Mediamax reports.
The official description of the book particularly says:
"At the turn of the twentieth century, the Ottoman state identified
multiple threats in its eastern regions. In an attempt to control
remote Kurdish populations, Ottoman authorities organized them into
a tribal militia and gave them the task of subduing a perceived
Armenian threat".
