Geology of Tunceli - Bingöl Region of Eastern Turkey
GEOLOGY OF TUNCELİ - BİNGÖL REGION OF EASTERN TURKEY F. A. AFSHAR Middle East Technical University, Ankara ABSTRACT. — This region is located in the Taurus orogenic belt of the highland district of Eastern Turkey. Lower Permian metasediments and Upper Permian suberystalline limestone are the oldest exposed formations of this region. Lower Cretaceous flysch overlies partly eroded Upper Permian limestone discordantly. The enormous thickness of flysch, tuffs, basaltic - andesitic flows, and limestones constitute deposits of Lower Cretaceous, Upper Cretaceous, and Lower Eocene; the deposits of each of these periods are separated from the others by an unconformity. Middle Eocene limestone is overlain discordantly by Lower Miocene marine limestone which grades upward into lignite-bearing marls of Middle Miocene and red beds of Upper Miocene. After Upper Miocene time, this region has been subjected to erosion and widespread extrusive igneous activities. During Permian this region was part of Tethys geosyncline; in Triassic-Jurassic times it was subjected to orogenesis, uplift and erosion, and from Lower Cretaceous until Middle Eocene it was part of an eugeosyncline. It was affected by Variscan, pre-Gosauan, Laramide, Pyrenean, and Attian orogenies. The entire sedimentary section above the basement complex is intensely folded, faulted, subjected to igneous intrusion, and during five orogenic episodes has been exposed and eroded. INTRODUCTION In the August of 1964 the Mineral Research and Exploration Institute of Turkey assigned the writer to undertake geologic study of the region which is the subject of discussion in this report. This region is located in the highland district of Eastern Turkey, extending from Karasu River in the north to Murat River in the south. -

Culture, Politics and Contested Identity Among the “Kurdish” Alevis of Dersim: the Case of the Munzur Culture and Nature Festival
Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2019 2019, Vol. 6, No. 1, 63-76 ISSN: 2149-1291 Culture, Politics and Contested Identity among the “Kurdish” Alevis of Dersim: The Case of the Munzur Culture and Nature Festival Ülker Sözen1 Netherlands Institute in Turkey This article analyzes the Munzur Culture and Nature Festival organized by the people of Dersim, an eastern province of Turkey, as a site of political activism, cultural reproduction, and intra-group contestation. The festival began as a group- remaking event for restoring cultural identity, defending locality, and mobilizing Dersimli people in the face of political repression. In time, socio-spatial and political fragmentation within Dersimli society became more prevalent. The festival experience came to reflect and contribute to the debates and anxieties about identity whereby different political groups competed to increase their influence over local politics as well as the event itself. On the one hand, this article discusses the organization of the Munzur Festival, its historical trajectory, and the accompanying public debates and criticisms. On the other, it explores festive sociabilities, cultural performances, and the circulation of politically-charged symbols throughout the event which showcases the articulation and competition of multiple ethno-political belongings which are the Dersimli, Kurdish, Alevi, and socialist ones. The festival’s historical trajectory is dealt as two stages, unified struggle and internal strife, whereby the festival appeared as first a group-remaking then unmaking public event. The paper argues that this transformation is tied to hanging power relations in the local politics of Dersim, and the shifting state policies, namely the phase of repressive control strategies until the mid-2000s and the peace process and political relaxation until 2015. -

II. Abdülhamid Döneminde Dersim Sancağındaki İdari Yapı ve Ulaşım Ağı* Administrative Structure and Transportation Network in the Time of II. Abdülhamid in the Dersim Sanjak İbrahim YILMAZÇELİK** - Sevim ERDEM*** Öz Osmanlı Devleti, kurulduğu andan itibaren bayındırlığa ve özellikle de yollara önem ver- miştir. Osmanlı tarafından inşa edilen yollar, daha önce Roma ve Bizanslılarda olduğu gibi, sadece fetih amaçlı değil daimi bir yol politikası olup, yolların güzergâhlarının belirlenme- sinde askeri amaçlar kadar ticari menfaatlerde dikkate alınmıştır. Günümüz ulaşım ağının temeli, kervan yollarından oluşan daha eski bir sistemden gelişmiş olup bunun en azından 1920’li yıllara kadar bu süreklilik arz ettiği bilinmektedir. Askeri amaçlı yollar eski ve sta- tiktir. Bu sebeple yol ağının değişiminde, ordu yollarından ziyade ticari kervan yolları daha önemlidir. Osmanlı döneminde askeri amaçlı yollar oluştururken, eğer yeni bir yol ağı ise öncelikle yürüyüş talimatnamesi hazırlanır, eğer kullanıma uygun ise bu güzergâhtan geçiş kanunlaştırırdı. Askeri amaçlı yollar bilhassa padişahın sefere çıkacağı zamanlarda önem arz etmekteydi. Ancak Osmanlı Devletinin son dönemlerinde askeri amaçlı yolların yapımında, sefer zihniyetinden ziyade eşkıyalık olaylarını önleme ve ülke asayişini temin etme, temel esası oluşturmuştur. Dersim sancağı, Doğu Anadolu’nun İç Anadolu ile birleştiği yerde oldukça arızalı bir bölge olup, güneyde Murat Suyu, batıda Karasu, kuzeyde Munzur sıradağları ve doğuda ise Peri Suyu ile çevrilidir.

Forced Evacuations and Destruction of Villages in Dersim (Tunceli), and Western Bingöl, Turkish Kurdistan September-November 1994
FORCED EVACUATIONS AND DESTRUCTION OF VILLAGES IN DERSIM (TUNCELI), AND WESTERN BINGÖL, TURKISH KURDISTAN SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER 1994 INTRODUCTION This report details the wave of village evacuations and demolitions, as well as the forest fires that swept across the Dersim region in Turkey, i.e., the province of Tunceli and neighbouring districts, during the autumn of 1994.1 Over a period of two months, around a third of the villages in that province (but in some subdistricts as many as 80 to 100 percent) were evacuated under severe military pressure, and many of them were destroyed and burned down by the army. Thousands of families lost their houses. Moreover large stretches of forest, that only recently had been designated as a nature reserve, were deliberately burnt down. The rationale for all this destruction was the presence of guerrillas of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party), believed to be hiding out in the forests of this province. The inhabitants of the destroyed villages were suspected of giving food and shelter to these guerrillas. Tunceli was not the first province to fall victim to large-scale village evacuations orchestrated by Turkish security forces. The first instances of forced village evacuations in recent years took place in the 1980s, and since 1992 evacuations followed by demolition have been standard practice in sensitive zones of Turkey's Kurdish-inhabited provinces. The Human Rights Associations of Turkey have repeatedly published lists of villages that had been evacuated and destroyed, adding up to well over 2000 names of villages and hamlets. The present report concentrates on the events in Tunceli. -
Persistence of Armenian and Greek Influence in Turkey
Minorities and Long-run Development: Persistence of Armenian and Greek Influence in Turkey ∗ Cemal Eren Arbatlı Gunes Gokmen y July 2015 Abstract Mass deportations and killings of Ottoman Armenians during WWI and the Greek-Turkish population exchange after the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922 were the two major events of the early 20th century that permanently changed the ethno-religious landscape of Anatolia. These events marked the end of centuries-long coexistence of the Muslim populations with the two biggest Christian communities of the region. These communities played a dominant role in craftsmanship, manufacturing, commerce and trade in the Empire. In this paper, we empirically investigate the long-run contribution of the Armenian and Greek communities in the Ottoman period on regional development in modern Turkey. We show that districts with greater presence of Greek and Armenian minorities at the end of the 19th century are systematically more densely populated, more urbanized and exhibit greater economic activity today. These results are qualitatively robust to accounting for an extensive set of geographical and historical factors that might have influenced long-run development on the one hand and minority settlement patterns on the other. We explore two potential channels of persistence. First, we provide evidence that Greeks and Armenians might have contributed to long-run economic development through their legacy on human capital accumulation at the local level. This finding possibly reflects the role of inter-group spillovers of cultural values, technology and know-how as well as the self-selection of skilled labor into modern economic sectors established by Armenian and Greek entrepreneurs. -
Kirmanjki (Zazaki) Speaking Kurds and Their Ethnic Identity*
KIRMANJKI (ZAZAKI) SPEAKING KURDS AND THEIR ETHNIC IDENTITY* Munzur Çem (Chem), Writer 1. Introduction: Kirmanjki (Zazaki) speaking Kurds are living in the areas along Turkish State Boundaries namely, in northern Kurdistan. As like the population of all Kurds, because of suppressions and prohibitions there are no exact figures for the population of the Kirmanjki (Zazaki) speaking people. According to my opinion this group is ranging between 3 – 3.5 million. The majority of Kirmanjki speaking Kurds live mainly in the provinces Çewlig(Bingöl) and Dersim(Tunceli) with smaller populations residing in the provinces Erzirum(Erzurum), Erzingan(Erzincan), Qers (Kars), Muş (Mush), Xarpet (Elaziğ), Diyarbekir, Ruha (Urfa), Semsur (Adiyaman), Bedlis (Bitlis), Sert (Siirt), Nigde, Kayseri, Gümüşhane and Sivas as well as in the central parts of Turkey. (1). Only in Tunceli and Bingöl provinces the Kirmanjs (Zazas) are majority, in the other provinces they are minority. 2. Ethnic Origins of Naming Traditionally, Kirmanj (Zaza) Kurds do not call themselves by one common name. For example, the people living in the vicinity of Dersim, Erzingan (Erzincan) and Erzurum call themselves “Kirmanj”(as ethnic identity), “Kird” in the vicinity of Çewlig and “Zaza” in some areas around Elaziğ and „Dimili”, in Sewrege and Sêrt (Siirt). However, the majority are called Kirmanj and Kird. There is no explanation for why the two factions of the populations speaking the same dialect use different names for their common language, neither is it possible to give a reason why people living in different areas, who use the same dialect, name this same dialect differently. Kirmanj Kurds, give different names to their own dialect such as Kirmanjki, Kirdki, Zazaki and Dimlki. -

TUNCELİ YÖRESİ TÜRKMEN AĞIZLARININ ÖZELLİKLERİ İbrahim TOSUN* the CHARACTERISTICS of TURKMEN DIALECTS in the DISTRICT O
Turkish Studies - International Periodical For The Languages, Literature and History of Turkish or Turkic Volume 7/3, Summer 2012, p. 2455-2480, ANKARA-TURKEY TUNCELİ YÖRESİ TÜRKMEN AĞIZLARININ ÖZELLİKLERİ İbrahim TOSUN* ÖZET Karahan’ın sınıflandırmasında Doğu Grubu ağızları arasında yer alan Tunceli yöresi Türkmen ağızları, yörenin en eski yerleşim merkezleri olan Pertek, Hozat, Çemişgezek ve Mazgirt ilçeleri ile bu ilçelere bağlı bazı köylerin ağızlarını içine alır. Tunceli’nin güney ve güneybatısında, Keban barajı boyunca uzanan sınır bölgesinde yerleşmiş Türk toplulukları bu ağzı konuşurlar. Ağız özellikleri bakımından Elazığ/Harput ve Erzincan’la tamamen, diğer Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu ağızlarıyla da kısmen örtüşen Tunceli yöresi Türkmen ağızlarının aşağıda belirlenmiş özelliklerinin çoğu Doğu Grubu ağızları ile ortaklık gösterirken bunlardan bazıları yöreye özgüdür ve karakteristik niteliktedir. Yöredeki Türkmen ağızları incelenirken yaklaşık kırk özellik tespit edilmiş, bu özelliler bu ağızlardan derlenmiş örneklerle desteklenmiştir. Tunceli Yöresi Türkmen ağızları, belirlenmiş bu kırk özellik bakımından bir birlik oluştururken bazı küçük, yöresel, fonetik farklılıklar, bu Türkmen ağzı içinde üç ayrı alt ağız grubu olduğunu da ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Yöre ağızlarının genel özelliklerine topluca bakıldığında, yörede Türk boylarından çoğunlukla Avşar daha seyrek olarak da Salur boyunun dil özelliklerinin hâkim olduğu görülmektedir. Fakat şunu da söylemek gerekir ki Anadolu’da, Oğuzların bu topraklara yerleşiminden bu yana, zorunlu -
