Question: Who claimed a homeland in parts of Turkey, Iran, and the country of citizenship of Al-Mu'tamid and his follower?

After al-Muqtafi's death, he played a decisive role in the suppression of the palace coup that briefly deposed al-Muqtadir in favour of Abdallah ibn al-Mu'tazz. He was then named treasurer ("khazin") and chief of security ("sahib al-shurta") to the Caliph. Under al-Mu'tadid he served as commander of the caliph's personal guard and led various expeditions against Bedouins and other restive elements in Iraq, while al-Muqtafi dispatched him in 906 against the Qarmatians. He died in 914. <SEP> mesopotamia is a historical region in west asia situated within the tigris -- euphrates river system, in modern days roughly corresponding to most of iraq plus kuwait, the eastern parts of syria, southeastern turkey, and regions along the turkish -- syrian and iran -- iraq borders. <SEP> Kurdistan (/ ˌkɜːrdɪˈstæn, ˈstɑːn /; Kurdish: کوردستان ‎ (ˌkʊɾdɯˈstɑːn) (listen); lit. ``homeland of the Kurds '') or Greater Kurdistan is a roughly defined geo - cultural historical region wherein the Kurdish people form a prominent majority population and Kurdish culture, languages and national identity have historically been based. Kurdistan roughly encompasses the northwestern Zagros and the eastern Taurus mountain ranges. The territory corresponds to Kurdish irredentist claims. <SEP> As a prince, the future al-Mu'tadid served under his father during various military campaigns, most notably in the suppression of the Zanj Rebellion, in which he played a major role. When al-Muwaffaq died in June 891 al-Mu'tadid succeeded him as regent. He quickly sidelined his cousin and heir-apparent al-Mufawwad, and when al-Mu'tamid died in October 892, he succeeded to the throne. Like his father, al-Mu'tadid's power depended on his close relations with the army. These were first forged during the campaigns against the Zanj and were reinforced in later expeditions which the Caliph led in person: al-Mu'tadid would prove to be the most militarily active of all Abbasid caliphs. Al-Mu'tadid was the son of al-Muwaffaq, who was the regent and effective ruler of the Abbasid state during the reign of his brother, Caliph al-Mu'tamid. Through his energy and ability, he succeeded in restoring to the Abbasid state some of the power and provinces it had lost during the turmoil of the previous decades. <SEP> the first president on record issuing a ``pardon ''to his turkey was ronald reagan. reagan had been sending the turkeys presented to him to farms and zoos since at least 1982, and 1987's turkey, charlie, was likewise headed to a petting zoo. at the time, reagan was facing questions over the iran - contra affair, on whether or not he would consider pardoning oliver north (who had yet to be tried for his involvement in the affair); reagan conjured the notion of the turkey pardon as a joke to deflect those questions. reagan did not pardon a turkey in his final year as president in 1988, but his successor, george h.w. bush, instituted the turkey pardon as a permanent part of the presentation beginning his first year in office, 1989, in response to the protests of animal rights activists.
