In what was meant to be a comprehensive episode covering the major political developments of the 1928-1938 period, we instead ended up getting bogged down in the detail of the Xoybun. A Kurdish pan-nationalist party that was involved in the little known breakaway Ararat Republic which was one of the more successful Kurdish attempts at independence lasting officially for four years. Even though it was never internationally recognised and didn't succeed in its ultimate aim, we find that the successes they did have were remarkable.
We also go on to talk about the Dersim Rebellion (or Dersim Genocide as it's sometimes known and we'll see why), the events leading up to it and how the program for Turkification in the south east of Turkey was often done by shows of force and was met with resistance by the local population.
Our intro music is by our good friend Jordan who is a fellow member of ALE, which you should all check out!
