Between the years 1927 to 1930 during a general confrontation between the Kurdish minority in eastern Turkey, a portion of the Kurdish nomadic tribes residing in the inaccessible heights of Ararat Mountain who had escaped a general repression by the newly established government of Mostafa Kamal Attaturk in Turkey, revolted against the Turkish government. This revolt occurred at a period of time in relations between Iran and Turkey when each of these new governments i.e. the newly established Pahlavi government and Attaturk, were trying to build a new sort of relationship different from the traditional method of the past which was ripe with incidents and problems. The book reviews the effect of the Kurdish rebels at Ararat Mountain on the relations of these two countries.
