1/Celladına aşık olanların bilmesi gereken bir isim. " Dersim'i acımasızca bombaladım..."
Sabiha Gökçen.

Atatürk'ün manevi kızı olan Sabiha Gökçen, Dersimli'leri bombalarken duyduğu hazzı, 1937' de Tan Gazetesi'nden Ahmed Emin Yalman'a şu cümlelerle ifade ediyor :
2/ Dersim’deki uçuşlarım daha heyecanlı olmuştur. (….) İnsan evvela bombalarını atıyor. Sonra canlı görürse, makineli tüfeğe müracaat ediyor.

Çarpışma meydanında canlı hedef üzerine bomba atmak insana hiç acımak hissi vermiyor. İnsan yalnız aramayı, vurmayı düşünüyor.
3/Sabiha Gökçen, Dersim’i nasıl bombaladığını 1956 yılında verdiği bir başka röportajda şöyle anlatıyordu :

"Canlı ne görürseniz ateş edin emrini almıştık. #Dersim’i acımasızca bombaladık. Asilerin gıdası olan keçileri dahi ateşe tutuyorduk. "

today, 1937: seyid rıza is taken to court in elazığ, where he would be sentenced to death. he was the leader of the #resistance against the state's genocidal campaign against the alevi kurds of #dersim, 1937 & 1938. he was hanged, and never forgotten. a #hero in kurdish history.
both kurds and turks refer to seyid rıza as leader of an #uprising: kurds because it confirms their narrative of kurdish uprisings, turks because they consider it an excuse for the brutal state action. but it's more accurate to call him a #resistance leader. why?
seyid rıza was well informed about the state's brutal ways of bringing #kurdish regions under central control since halfway 19th century, during ottoman times, and he knew what had happened to #armenians in #anatolia. inaccessible #dersim had not been brought under control - yet.

Poisonous gas bought from Nazi Germany were: Sulfur mustard (iperit), Phenacyl chloride (chloroacetophenone).

Documents show, Ataturk orders poisonous gas to be transported to Elaziz (Elazig) to be used against civilians in Dersim, Kurdistan.

Ataturk proved to Hitler that killing civilians with poisonous gas is "not a crime" in 1937 and then Hitler walked in his path and did exactly the same to Jewish people in Germany.

Kemal Ataturk gassed Alevi Kurds in caves of Dersim, Hitler gassed jews in chambers of Auschwitz..
