EXCEPTIONAL MIGRATION (2) Hamza Aksüt In the previous article, it was mentioned that the migrations were mostly towards the west and On the contrary, I have dealt with Alevis, Turks, Kurds and Abdals who migrated from Anatolia to the Safavid country from the end of the fifteenth century onwards. In this article, as an exception, I will describe the west-to-east migration of smaller communities in Anatolia. According to the tahrir books of the sixteenth century, Kars, Ardahan and There are almost no Alevi settlements in the region covering Erzurum. In the region Alevi villages were established in central and southern Anatolia from the beginning of the eighteenth century. were founded by people from the Alevi community.

The previous homeland of these communities was Maraş-altı. community It is also called Oak Turkmen. It is the region between Maras-salt, Islahiye and Pazarcık.
