Norşin Conference

The Norşin Conference, held in 1920 near Norşin in eastern Turkey, was a meeting focused on regional issues following World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. It aimed to address territorial and political concerns of local leaders and communities, particularly those involving Kurdish populations. The conference sought to negotiate boundaries, advocate for local interests, and stabilize the region amid national and international uncertainty. While not a widely known event, it reflects the broader complexities of post-war Middle Eastern geopolitics and the efforts of local actors to shape their future amidst changing borders.
