Abstract

The geography of Anatolia has many cultures. One of these cultures is Zaza. But the Zazas were shown as either Turkish or Kurdish. The most persistent part on this issue is Kurds, who see the Zazas as an obstacle to their political aim. This uncertainty is due to the fact that there is not enough work on the Zazas. Most of the work on the Zazas, language and cultures was carried out by foreign missionaries. Because of academic lack, it was not possible to create a culture of understanding each other and creating a common cultural richness in the same geography. This has pushed people of this culture to ethnic separation. After the Turks and Kurds in Eastern Anatolia, the majority of the population is Zaza. The aim of this article is to fulfill the academic gap and to contribute to the mutual understanding of mutual culture and common nationality.
