The Hakimiyet Newspaper, 5 October 1920 issue, the story was the headline: “TURKISH – BOLSHEVIK Unity” cap on the bottom of this story, if continued: “the new Soviet Russia and the new Turkey Hand in hand, they are the leaders of the movement to save the world from imperialist tyranny…” in the continuation of the story; then starting with Ataturk’s letters to Lenin and emphasis on friendship and solidarity… in the continuation, is sent to the port of Inebolu from the Soviet Union; 3500 rubles gold, weapons and military equipment he was talking about. As it is known, some of these weapons and material were sent to the National Command of the West Cilician front Force.
26 December 1920, after the Pozanti-Karbogazi raid, 4 of which were women, 44 men surrendered to the peasant soldiers platoon, 630 men and commander of the French Battalion, Major Pierra Mesnil and his wife Edrige Aubry Mesnil, took themselves to Kayseri, Ulukisla Platoon Commander Sevki Alpagut and his family, wrote letters from France. In the letter,” the Turks are very welcoming and helpful and do them a favor that will make them forget their captivity ” emphasized… I wish the Daughters of Sevki Alpagut dear Iclal and Perihan Alpagut a healthy long life.
The names of the local patriots who participated in the resistance to the national force were given as names to their villages to keep their memory alive. There are villages named Karaisali, Hamidiye, Omerli and Ascıbekirli in Adana for: Saimbeyli, Tufan Beyli, Pozülü Tahtacı Beyi Kara Isa. In Tarsus: Aliaga, Alibeyli, Aliefendioglu, Alifaki, Beymisirmeni, Yarbay Semsettin, martyr Isaac, Sariveli, Piromerli, Kurtmusa, Muratli, Mahmutaga, Kizilmurat, Hasanaga, Hacibozan are village names such as. Ulukışla’s: Hasangazi, Alihoca, Eminlik, Hüsniye, Hacıbekirli, Şihömerli, Emirs, Ulukısla National Command because of a brain pen; Beyagil, Colak Guvacı for: Kolsuz village names are given. The name Rooster Village is also meaningful for the rooster that wakes the villager and sings early when the enemy is coming…
Interesting, but the fact is that wherever the resistance to The Force continues, the vast majority of the volunteer platoons fighting on the front lines are Bektashi villagers from the Sarıkecili Tribe. Of the 6 villages that participated in the war in Pozanti, 2 are Bektashi (Belemedik and Karaisalı) and 4 are Turkish villages. For example, 37 Bektashi villages in Mersin region and 39 Bektashi i villages in Adana region took part in the front of this battle. When you are a guest in the black hair tents of the last nomads, who know the life of Bektashi and the migration from Cukrova to the Highlands, who know the life of Cukurova and Toros Mountain, three photos salute you: Ataturk, Hazrat Mahdi (as). Ali and Haji Bektasi Veli. This must be the secret of the Free Patriotic people to lead the force on the Western Cilician front to their resistance to the nation.…
Ottoman ledger It is also a fact that there were many people and families who were pro-Sultan, British and French, such as Mr. Tayyar, the governor of Ulukisla of the period (1918-1923) in this region, especially in accordance with the secret correspondence of Divisional Command, Telegraph texts and local people’s testimonies. In addition, there were also a large number of deserters and bandits in the area.

Most of them became martyrs… on this holy road from liberation to establishment, the Valiant of this region is known… Guerilla woman from Gulek village and 4 women who resisted with gerilla peoples 44, Karboğazi platoon hail … Bolkar’s scream makes sense in our saga, there are only their stories…
On February 22, 1920, Mr. Mehmet Bahaeddin, the Reverend of Ulukısla, who had sent a telegram to the Istanbul government entitled “No religion without independence…”, had taken part in the front of Mustafa Kemal Pasha. On May 29, 1920, Tekelioglu Sinan, Commander of the West Cilicia Defense Law Society in Adana, for his patriotic sacrifices and great contributions, joined the Ulukışla Kuvayi Milliye detachment and the 11th District of Nigde. He telegraphed a top secret and private celebration to Divisional Command.…
On the other hand, from national forces Ulukışla and Niğde front; bottleneck Suleyman Sergeant-Gokalp (Tarık Bugra’s father), Badgerlu Gala Hasan, Beyagil’s Zahit Hoca, Molla Durmus, Ebubekir Hazim Tepeyran from Nigde, Inspector Mr. Hilmi, Mustafa Soylu, Halit Hami Mengi, Dellalzade Hacı Osman, major Cemal Bey, Fehmi Esen, Muhittin Soylu, etc. Patriotic soldiers need to be commemorated…
I salute you with “Tepeyran”, another face of the national struggle of Niğde.…
Ebubekir Hazım Tepeyran (1864-1947): a descendant of Nigde’s Murat Pasha, he was the son of Bekir Beyzade Hasan, director of Nigde Tahrirat. Nigde’de popularly called “Tepeyran“, Yenice District” Tepe-viran” because he was born in the district, took this name as a surname. He graduated from Niğde Rüstiyeesi (high school). I’m glad I finished the same high school (1970)). Arabic Persian French, he learned private lessons. Mosul, Monastery, governorate building in Baghdad. After the proclamation of the Constitution, he served as governor of Sivas and Ankara, Mayor of Istanbul and Governor of Bursa. During the armistice he was Minister of the Interior 2 times. While on this mission, he was tried and sentenced to death at the Court of War established by the occupying army on the grounds that he had helped the force to the National and was spared at the last moment; his sentence was commuted to a rowing conviction (1920). When the military appeal was overturned during Tevfik Pasha’s reign as Grand Vizier, he secretly moved to Anatolia. Upon the request of Ataturk, he was brought to the governorates of Sivas and Trabzon by the Government of Ankara. He served as a member of Parliament during the Republican period; he was elected as a member of Parliament for Nigde three times. Turkish, French poetry, memoir, Short Story, novel books have been published. His only novel, Küçük Pasha (1910), gained an important place in Turkish writing. Nabizade is the second novelist after Nazim’s novel “Karabibik”, which introduced the Anatolian village and the Turkish peasant into our literature. He has also written his memoirs. Tepeyran is the grandfather of journalist, writer and poet Oktay Akbal. He is known for his books and literary articles in Servet-I Funün Magazine and many published books. To Ebubekir Hazım Tepeyran, the face flux of Turkish literature; (other than my fellow journalist, writer Hikmet Altınkaynak), it hurts us deeply to witness that the Nigde’s do not show the necessary attention.…
100th The first spark of the national struggle, the first step, the first decision, the first Scream, which we celebrate the year of August 5, 1920, 1th Mustafa Kemal Pasha, who attended the Pozanti Congress, said: “for the first time, a democratic election was held and the people showed their will and called on the whole Islamic world to unite and solidarity”…
On 18 March 1923, Mustafa Kemal Pasha arrived in Tarsus by train, after having a conversation with national struggle hero Adile Cavus (Black Fatma), he read his historical address to the Tarsus youth.…
January 3 January 1922, Mersin and January 5, 1922, the Liberation Day of Adana, were fought by the patriotic heroes of the Taseli (Mut-Silifke-Erdemli) Force National detachment on the Cilician Front, which also fought the deserter bandits, extending from Kozan to Mut. October April 23, 1920 in the light of this victory; October 29, 1923 in the light of the republican revolutions, this holy path from liberation to establishment is commemorated every year as the day on which the sacred epic of the heralding of this utkuyu was written; the first spark, the first step, the first oath, the first and the first speech… the same language, the same flag, the same homeland and the same ideal for the roads, again…
