Alevism is a number of sufi orders with close common shares with Twelver Shia Islam. The most important order of Alevis are Baktashi order (Baktashiyeh). One of the old orders where safavism which is also know as Kizilbash orders that they found the united Iran (Persia) after 9 houndred years and the essental political and religious bases of the present Iran can be rooted to Safavid and the kizilbash movement.
The baktashis are less known in Iran and after decline of ottoman they moved their headquarter from east Anatolia to Tirana in Albania. However their traditional music is still strongly found in East Turkey and it is a major component of mystic ( from sufism) traditional music of the middle east.
Here I put some link on the founder of Baktashiyeh Hajj Baktahs Wali who was originally from khorasan and he moved exactly during the same period as Rumi (Balkhi)'s family to minor asia and for the same reason (Mongol catastrophic Invasion of Persia).
