 Ethnic Differentiation among the Kurds
After examining the historical and cultural roots of what are shown to be ethnically distinct minorities, the paper explores the ethnic dimension of what are generally regarded as 'Kurdish' uprisings in Anatolia from the 1920s up untill the present day.
Within a few generations of their establishment the Kizilbash Š spread all over Turkey, but were mainly concentrated in the north-eastern part of the country, especially in the provinces of Sivas, Erzurum, Diyarbak»r, and Harput.
Impelled by several factors, including a severe economic crisis at the time, Alevi forces flocked into the 'Qizilbash' [Kizilbash] army of the Iranian monarch, Isma'il I. The sultan's response was to launch a fierce campaign of repression - 'the first campaign of repression of Qizilbash in Anatolia' (Moosa, 1987: 36).

 THE ALEVI OF ANATOLIA
They spread revolt against the Sunni Ottomans among the many Sufi, Shi’a, and Kizilbash groups in Anatolia and as a result, Anatolia became the scene of protracted warfare between the Sunni Ottomans and the Sufi-Shi’a Safavids whose center had shifted from Anatolia to Persia.
Following severe persecution and massacres by the Ottomans which lasted into the 18th century, Alevis went underground pretending to be Sunnis, using taqiya (religious dissimulation permitted by all Shi`a groups) to conceal their faith and survive in a hostile environment.
The Kizilbash mixed with another Shi’a-Sufi group, Bektashis, with which they shared religious beliefs and practices, and the two intermingled to become Alevis despite local variations.

 Middle East Graduate Students Explore Frontiers in UCLA Conference, UCLA International Institute
Zeynep Turkyilmaz of UCLA presented a paper on "Missionaries among the Kizilbash Communities in the Ottoman Empire." The Kizilbash are one of the various mountain peoples of eastern Anatolia.
They were friendly with the Armenians and the Persians and adopted an eclectic form of the minority Shi'ia form of Islam prevalent in Iran but regarded as traitorous in Sunni-dominated Ottoman Turkey.
From the Nestorian Christians among the Armenians, the Kizilbash (the name means red headed, from the red turbans they wore during a revolt in the 16th century) adopted elements of Christianity, stories of which intrigued the Western Christian missionaries.

 Notes on the Kizilbash
The Kizilbash were a Moslem religious brotherhood that the Safavi family used to gain control of tribal groups.
The key to understanding the Kizilbash is that the Safavi staged a realignment of the Turkmen tribes of Azeribaijan through the use of a religious brotherhood.
During the early days of the Safavi dynasty from the time of Ismael up until Abass I, the Safavi were a Turkoman Il or at least an neo-Il.

Kizilbash has created Rose Water Riddle as a laboratory for linguistic exploration.
Her poems are rife with tight bundles of meaning, each of which neatly encapsulates an entire set of relationships.
They are so fraught with veiled and implicit meanings that (just as Gertrude Stein said real thinking must be done), they must be gone back to “again and again, always becoming fuller,” always becoming more and more real.

century the Kizilbash are considered to have been assimilated by Persian/Iranian Shi’a.
Kizilbash survived in spite of persecutions and discrimination and their affiliation to the Bektashi Order without doubt contributed to this effect.
