This experience, which bears a great deal of importance for the resolution of the Kurdish issue, leads the Sunni community, once placed at the top of the social hierarchy in the Ottoman Empire, to assume a role in addressing this problem.

Zbigniew Brzezinski’s new book “Strategic Vision” has been translated into Turkish and published by Timaş Publications. I had the opportunity to follow a few discussions about it in the media. To better understand the role and ideas of Brzezinski in the drafting and implementation of US global policies and strategies, the process that started in the late 1970s in Afghanistan should be noted since he was the most important architect of that process. He was national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter when the president decided to extend support to the opponents of the Afghan regime, which Brzezinski knew could lead to a Soviet occupation.
