Özet:

 In the first half of the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire, with the help of some of its local supporters, conquered much of eastern Anatolia, where the Akkoyunlu and Safavid influences had been present In central and eastern Anatolia, Safavid pressure was politically, administratively and religiously effective. In the perspective of the Ottomans, the Safavid partisanship of the Kurdish leaders in the east was much more dangerous than that of the Qizilbash in central Anatolia, as they were located on the border line. In fact, within the social structure shaped by ancient history and cultural dynamics, a change of allegiance of tribal lords could also lead to a change of administrative boundaries. There is very little information on what actually happened along the Ottoman-Safavid border in the 16th century and especially on the attitude of the Kurdish leaders towards these events. The study aims to contribute to the field in two important ways. The first is to emphasize the mobility of Kurdish leaders within the political stance and gains provided by being on the border. The second is to make visible the diplomatic, military and political steps taken by the imperial administration in the face of these Kurdish mobilizations.

 Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, XVI. yüzyılın ilk yarısında yereldeki kimi destekçilerinin de yardımıyla Akkoyunlu ve Safevî tesirlerinin bulunduğu Anadolunun doğusunun büyük bir kısmını ele geçirmişti. Anadolunun orta ve doğusunda Safevî tazyiki siyasî, idarî ve dinî bakımdan etkindi. Osmanlılar nazarında, Orta Anadoludaki Kızılbaşlara nispetle sınır hattında yer almalarından dolayı doğudaki Kürt beylerinin Safevî taraftarlığı çok daha tehlikeliydi. Öyle ki kadîm tarih ve kültürel dinamiklerin şekillendirdiği toplum yapısı dahilinde aşiret beylerinin saf değiştirmesi aynı zamanda idarî bir sınır değişikliğine de yol açabilirdi. XVI. yüzyılda Osmanlı-Safevî sınır boyunda hakikatte nelerin yaşandığı ve özellikle Kürt beylerinin bu yaşananlar karşısındaki tutumları hakkındaki malumat oldukça azdır. Çalışma, alana iki önemli hususla katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. İlki Kürt beylerinin, sınırda olmanın sağladığı politik duruş ve kazanımlar dahilindeki hareketliliklerine vurgu yapmaktır. İkincisi, imparatorluk idaresinin Kürtlerin bu hareketlilikleri karşısında atmış olduğu diplomatik, askerî ve siyasî adımları görünür kılmaktır.
