 | | The Akkoyunlu exterminated many notable ruling Kurdish families and appointed their own governors in their place (see State-Tribe Relations: Kurdish Tribalism in the 16th and 17th Century Ottoman Empire, British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, 1996, p.11). |
 | | After the Mongol period, Kurds established several independent states or principalities such as Ardalan, Badinan, Baban, Soran, Hakkari and Badlis. |
 | | A comprehensive history of these states and their relationship with their neighbors is given in the famous textbook of "Sharafnama" written by Prince Sharaf al-Din Biltisi in 1597 [22]. |
