Turkish Arabia Affairs
- Scope & Content:
-
Correspondence discusses the rising of the Bohtan Kurds against the Turkish [Ottoman] Government and its impact on British imperial communications. Letters discuss the leadership of the insurgents led by Yezdisheer Bey (nephew of Beder Khan Bey) and how they obtained money from the Mosul Treasury on pretence of forming a unit of mountaineers against the Russians on the Armenian front. Also discussed is how the Bohtan Kurds took the town of Jezireh [Jezireh, Syria], laid waste the Turkish garrison, and linked up with disaffected Kurds from the Taurus mountains to Bagdad [Baghdad]. The impact on Christian communities, Nestorian Kurds and Chaldean villagers of Mosul is mentioned as well as the revolt of the Anezeh and Shammar Arab tribes.
The correspondents include: Lieutenant Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, Political Agent in Turkish Arabia; H L Anderson, Secretary to the Government of Bombay [Mumbai]; G F Edmonstone, Secretary to the Government of India; and the Earl of Clarendon, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Foreign Office, London.
