| Abstract | ||
| The Ottoman Empire was forced to hold the truce of Mondros on 10/30/1918 after losing the war with the Allied countries, but the truce did not deter these countries from the occupation of the Ottoman lands, including the Kurdish areas south and southeast, which sparked the national movement that started organizing the Erzurum conferences Sivas in July and September 1919 and laying down the general framework of the National Charter, which was approved at the last session of the Ottoman Envoys Council on 17/2/1920, the first article of it stipulated that all the regions that remained under actual Ottoman rule until the truce of Mondros was held are an integral part of the Ottoman lands. This is how the Kurdish regions became The subject of the conflict between the victorious countries in the war and the Ottoman Empire, as well as some local parties, such as the Armenians, Christians, Kurds and Arabs, and this conflict intensified with the signing of the Istanbul government of the Sevres Treaty on 10/8/1920 and the opposition of the Ankara government to it, until the matter was decided to divide these areas by both Iraq, Syria and Turkey, a newly formed country. The aim of the study is to demonstrate how the national movement adopted the national pact and the conditions that led to the Turkish-Kurdish understanding, according to it, as well as to identify the parties to the conflict over the Kurdish regions and the final status of these areas according to the attractiveness of these parties, and we adopted the historical analytical approach, in addition to the descriptive approach in studying The topic and we reached several results, the most important of which is that the majority of the Kurds worked within the ranks of the Ottoman Turkish national movement to resist the Armenians and their ambitions in the Kurdish regions. The Kurds also supported the national movement and the National Charter and participated in forming the government in Ankara in 1920, for these reasons, most of the Kurdish areas remained within the Ottoman borders and then the borders of the Turkish state in 1923, then the national pact that was approved in February 1920 is a document of Kurdish-Turkish understanding and solidarity in order to work together and preserve the unity of the Ottoman lands. | ||
