Abstract:

The expression of Bektaşi, “Alevi” or “Red Bull” is often used for communities outside the Sunni faith. We see in the existing documents in the Ottoman archive that the Ottoman State, in particular, does not recognize the Redhead (Alevity) as a specific system of belief or a formal religion. Especially for the Alevian community outside the Sunnite faith, the "Red" or "Rafizi" has been used. As a result of the death of Shah Ismail, the Red Peoples living in Anadolu have not found the necessary support from Iran. As a result of the destruction of the Safevi State and the disappearance of the family, the Red Bulls no longer have a connection with Iran. The Ottoman State also follows a policy in the direction of erosion of the Redheaders in the Baktaşi pot in Pirevinde (Hacı Bektaş Veli Tekkesi) 17. At the beginning of the century, he gave Chelebi the power to determine his tickness in the Bektaşi texts. From the period of Abdulhamid II, the districts where the Redbass (Alevi) villages were located began to open medreses and to send teachers to teach religion here. The Ottoman State has not accepted the Taipei as an out-of-Islam, but has described their beliefs as “bad” and has sent those who have been described as “salim teachers” to the region, aiming to bring them back from these bad beliefs.
