Abstract
The paper aims to provide a descriptive introduction to the Ottomans’ aggressive policies towards Yezidis from the 16th century to the end of the 19th century. The Ottomans had not established an explicit state policy based on enmity against Yezidis at the beginning of the 16th century. Nonetheless vitriolic discourse quickly took root in the agenda of local rulers. Muslim leaders’ fatwas in particular instigated the central government’s hostile policies in the mid-16th century. Yezidis, therefore, became an integral part of the Ottomans' aggressive policies of convertion to Islam and then conscription into army from the mid-16th century onwards. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the Ottomans' agenda towards Yezidis took shape within the framework of the force and even the violence under the pan-Islamist policies of Hamidian regime.
