A documentary on Dersim Massacre (In Turkish)
In order to create a Turkish nation from above, Turkish nationalists waged a campaign against non-Turkish and non-Muslim elements of the empire.The First World War served as an excuse for the Young Turks, then the Turkish goverment, to exterminate Armenians. It was a deliberate and sustain war, in the course of which hundreds of thousands Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks had been ruthlessly killed or forced into exile.The collapse of the Ottomans had left a power vacuum, filled by another section of the Turkish nationalists, called Kemalists at a later time.In 1937-38, i.e., at a time when world attention was focused on the Second World War, the Turkish nationalists commited another genocide. This time the victims were Dersimis, who are also known as Kızılbash or Alevis. Approximately 40.000-70.000 of them were killed and thousands were taken into exile. The Dersim Genocide of 1937-1938 was on one hand a continuation of the Kızılbash extermination of the Ottoman times and also an extermination of an ethnically distinct and separate people from Turks.

The Kurdish initiative — no way back
Being Kurdish has never been easy. Whether from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey or elsewhere, Kurds have never been treated fairly or kindly. In Turkey, for most of the past 80 years, its 14 million-odd Kurds have not had a pleasant time. They have been repressed, tortured, jailed and worse.
The CHP?s calculations
The Republican People?s Party (CHP), looking at the near future, is no doubt making the following calculation: If it succeeds at interrupting or stopping the democratic initiative process in Turkey, the political vacuum that might emerge in the ensuing chaos would actually produce more CHP supporters.
