When Russia builds military,
economic, and social relationships with Turkey and Syria, it also actively
considers how to win the “kindness” of the Kurds. The Putin administration,
aware of this necessity, has attempted to pursue a “balanced policy” in recent
years. Despite the policy’s issues during the Afrin (Kurdish: Efrîn) Campaign
and the Operation of Peace Spring, Russo-Kurdish relations are constantly
developing and growing in importance. The relationship, which began following
the Treaty of Gulistan, has always followed the bumby cruise. The Ottoman
Empire (and later the Republic of Turkey) has played an especially active role
in determining the scope of this relationship. This paper uses a general
framework to analyze the Russo-Kurdish relationship from the age of Imperial
Russia to the modern era of the Russian Federation.
