I’m a contributor interested in the history, languages, and ethno-cultural identities of the Middle East, especially Anatolia and Iran.
I’m a descendant of Qizilbash-Turkmen communities originally from the historical Vilayet of Diyarbekir (present-day southeastern Turkey). My heritage includes:
- Turkic (Qizilbash-Turkmen) roots with ties to Agamic/Azeroid dialects
- Terekeme (Turkic nomadic) ancestry
- and also Zaza-Kurdish (Kirmanc) lineage
My goal is to contribute to topics related to:
- Qizilbash and Alevi history
- Turkic dialects of eastern Anatolia
- Lesser-known ethno-linguistic communities of the region
