The Kurds, The Armenian Question and the History of Armenian-Kurdish Relations, Vahan Baibourtian (hardcover)

This book elucidates the political and economic history of the Kurdish people, who first composed a significant part of the Ottoman Empire, and later, of Republican Turkey. It goes on to explore the development of Armenian-Kurdish relations with its entire vicissitudes. It illustrates comprehensively the manifestations of the Armenian and the Kurdish questions at international fora and the political interactions of both neighboring peoples in the last few decades. The Armenian Question is touched upon here as much as it is closely linked with the Kurdish Question. This volume brings to the reader attention the fact that the Kurdish factor has had a negative impact on the development of the Armenian Question and was one of the reasons for the ultimate failure of the Armenian liberation movement.
