The Circassians of Turkey : war, violence and nationalism from the Ottomans to Atatürk

Yelbaşi, Caner, author

2019

Overview

\"Turkey's Circassians were exiled to the Ottoman Empire in the wake of the Russian conquest of the Caucasus in 1864, resettling most notably in the Danubian provinces, Thessaly, Syria, Central Anatolia and the southern shores of the Sea of Marmara. As experienced veterans of the wars with Russia, many Circassians were recruited into the paramilitary groups of the late Ottoman Empire and later fought on both sides in the Turkish Civil War. Here, Caner Yelbaşi reveals the complex and important role played by the Circassians of north-western Anatolia in the chaotic years after 1918\"-- Provided by publisher.
