Since the beginning of
the 16th century, the Kurdish Emirates had selected the Ottoman side
in a strong pragmatist manner instead of lining up and establishing a unified
state against the threat of the two great powers. The Kurdish Emirates, being
caught in fires between the Ottoman and the Safavids, compulsorily complied
with the interests of these two states in order to protect their hereditary
rights and stay autonomous. Although this strategic choice and symbiotic
relationship initially seemed correct, it failed due to both the Safavid threat
and the Ottoman centrist policy since the end of the 16th century.
The statues of the Emirates had gradually changed and they lost their
independence. Aziz Efendi, one of the advisors of the Sultan Murad IV,
criticized the policies implemented by the Ottoman government on the Kurdish
Emirates in his report. The Kurdish intellectual Ehmedê Xanî, at the same time,
criticized the same politics by the Kurdish side
