- Description
- This description of the parties involved and the factors, internal and external, of cohabitation between Christians and Kurds in the latter period of the Ottoman Empire focuses on ethnic and religious equality; the relations between authorities, community-nations and territories; land ownership; and the internationalization of disputes between Kurds and Armenians. Kurdish leaders reacted to the equality proclaimed in Ottoman reforms and to the Christians’ upwards social mobility by taking land, even by force, and thus acquired new power. Four phases stand out in the degradation of relations between Kurds and Armenians: the new order of the Tanzimat; the massacres of Armenians in the autumn of 1895; the new opportunities opened by the “Young Turk Revolution” in 1908, including the international plan for reforms established between 1912 and 1914; and Word War I with the genocide in 1915, which put a definitive end to cohabitation.
