The Northern Turks, who fell into camps after being
recruited into the tsarist Russian army in World War I, and because of this
they heroically fought on the Iraqi front, taking part in the Ottoman army
after the declaration of Jihadi Ekber, who remained unknown and formed the
Asian battalion, his story was first turned into a book.
According to journalist and research writer Mehmet
Poyraz, who prepared the book, articles written about them over the course of a
century did not cross the fingers of both hands, but in some history textbooks
they were just a bet.
The book of the Jihadi Ekber Military Asian Battalion,
in which academic sensitivity is not ignored, consists of three chapters based
on a chronological classification. Firstly, international events before the
formation of the Asian battalion are on the table.
The causes of the First World War, the relations of
the Ottoman Empire, Germany and Russia, the results of these relations, which
will influence the formation of the Asian battalion, are discussed in detail.
It is noteworthy that the camps created especially for
Muslim prisoners of war who happened in these camps in Germany and Austria, the
visit of opinion leaders such as Mehmet Akif and Abdyurreshid Ibrahim, the
publication of newspapers in the camp and the construction of a mosque. The
most important of them is the process of creating the Asian battalion.
After the first war with the Russian army and the
captive adventures that they subsequently experienced, new hopes for soldiers
who are very enthusiastic and enthusiastic about the people of the Asian
battalion are on their trips to Istanbul, Anatolia, Kerablus and Baghdad.
The jihadists of the Asian battalion, who fled from
front to front for almost two years, taking part in the Ottoman army and made
up the northern Turks from Russian Muslims, are identical to all the rulers of
the military profession in every geography to which they are sent.
In the book of the Jihadi Ekber Military Asian
Battalion, which Mehmet Poyraz has carefully prepared for two years, the Asian
Battalion, which is an expression of strict adherence to the jihadist
consciousness of Islam, is not hidden. In reverse, he presents this in the
light of the hope of the present and the future.
The heroes of the book, whose name is mentioned in the
names of Enver Pasha, Talat Pasha, Yusuf Akchura, Hamdullah Sufi Tanriever,
Chekip Arslan, Ahmet Agaoglu and Alimjan Idris, and whose subtitle is on the
Iraqi front of Russian Muslims in the Syrian and Iraqi territories, you can be
sure to read their experiences without breathing.
