In an attempt to control remote Kurdish populations, Ottoman authorities organized them into a tribal militia and gave them the task of subduing a perceived Armenian threat. Following the story of this militia, Klein explores the contradictory logic of how states incorporate groups they ultimately aim to suppress and how groups who seek autonomy from the state often attempt to do so through state channels. 606 $aKurds$zTurkey$xHistory 606 $aKurds$zTurkey$xGovernment relations 607 $aTurkey$xMilitia$xHistory 607 $aTurkey$xArmed Forces$xMinorities$xHistory 607 $aTurkey$xEthnic relations$xHistory 615 0$aKurds$xHistory. 615 0$aKurds$xGovernment relations. 676 $a355.3/708991597056 700 $aKlein$b Janet$f1969-$01571520 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789533303321 996 $aThe margins of empire$93845994 997 $aUNINA
