Christians also took part in the rebellion
Sheik Said and his 47 comrades were commemorated in front of Ulu Mosque in Diyarbakýr in the 85 anniversary of their executions. The activities that were organized by Dicle Fýrat Dialogue Group were supported also by Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) and Democratic Society Congress.
It has been revealed that at the time of the revolt, Christians also took part in Sheik Said Rebellion.
For 85 years,Turkish state has been claiming that Sheik Said was judged and hung on charges of ‘Founding an islamic Kurdish State’. However, a document published by ETHA (Etkin News Agency) shows that Christians also took part in Sheik Said Rebellion.
The deportation enactment of Demirci Hagop Markar, which is in the archive of Researcher Journalist Sait Çetinoðlu, shows that Armenians also contributed to the rebellion.
Another deportation enactment belongs to an Armenian who was identified because of a judicial crime and was deported. It is attention grabbing that both enactments, signed by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, were given just before the Dersim Operation.
By a prior order of the Orient Liberty Court in Diyarbakýr, Sheik Said and his 47 comrades were given death penalty on 28 June 1925 and the decision was executed on the following day.
Among the 47 comrades, who were hung with Sheik Said on charges of “founding an islamic Kurdish State”, was also Ottoman’s final stage Chief Justice Seyit Abdülkadir
SAYH SAID AND HIS 47 COMRADES WERE COMMEMORATED IN FRONT OF ULU MOSQUE
During the commemoration, Dicle Fýrat Dialogue Group Chairman Muhittin Batmanlý stated their demand to know the burial place of Sheik Said at the press conference they organized for the commemoration. Those who took part at the event carried photos of Sheik Said and banners saying “Where are the graveyards of our ancestors?” , “We won’t forget the leader and the fighters of Kurdistan.”
Batmanlý expressed that the crime of the fighters was that to demand freedom and added; “Our leader and fighters were executed 85 years ago but we believe that they are still with us always enlightening our route.”
“HUNG FOR NOT KNOWING TURKISH”
Marking that a young fighter was executed only for not knowing Turkish, Batmanlý spoke as follows; “In the entire world, only the ancestors of people in Kurdistan have unknown burial places. It is our most incontestable and islamic right to know the burial places of our martyrs.”
Following the statement of Batmanlý; Tahsin Sever, nephew of executed Esquire Halit, made a call to the state and wanted it to give up with its violence policies.
