The Question relating to the Origin of Karamanids
Abstract :
Debates on the origins of many states and principalities have occupied the academic world in the courses of history. One of these problematic subjects is the case of the origins of Karamanids. There have been different opinions on which Oguz tribe they descended from. At this point, claims have been made in the light of historical sources that Karamanids have descended from Avsar or Salur. In line with a new source, this article claims that Karamans descended from the Bayindir tribe. However, it is also emphasized in this work that, despite the differing views, a careful approach to the existing historical sources will reveal the fact that the origins of Karamanids cannot be any of the Oguz tribes.
