standardization. As a matter of principle Turkish nationalism was under the influence of the French and German nationalism.
R.H. Abdulatipov defines that ethno-political conflict as a clash of differences and contradictions of interests, attitudes, especially
in perception, interpretation and participation in socio-economic and political processes; their reflection in the field of ethnonational
relations, use differences in this area to solve political problems.
In Turkey, there are many ethnic groups and among them the most numerous are the Kurds. Ethno-political Kurdish rebellion has
begun in the last century and was directed against the centralized State. Other countries provoked Kurdish issue as an ethno-political
conflict, so the Turkish authorities believe that the Kurdish issue is an economic and social problem that can be solved with the
help of reforms. Ethno-political conflict between Kurds and Turks continued during the Cold War. And at this time, radical nationalism
became friendly with state nationalism on the basis of the struggle of communism and the Soviet Union after the collapse of the
two movements separated again. The main requirement was to create Kurdish autonomy. Famous Turkish historian Kemal Karpat
argues that the ethnic extant problems in Turkey in consequence of Turkish nationalism in the multicultural society. Other ethnopolitical
conflict in Turkey is related to religion. Speaking of ethno-political conflicts, it should be noted that their base might lie
on conflicts between religious sects of Islam. In particular, one of the conflicts is to confront Sunni and Alevi. Sunni is a recognized
state religion in Turkey. That is why, from the perspective of Sunni, Alevi religion does not conform to Islam.
