Its language and identity are being destroyed. Some of the Kirmanj-Zaza people have come together in order to prevent this and have founded an organisation called in our language Koma Serbestiya Ma: Dimili-Kirmanc-Zazay (or in English, the Our Liberty Organisation: Dimili-Kirmanj-Zaza). The shorter name of our organisation is Serbestiye (i.e., Liberty).***The purpose of Koma Serbestiya Ma is to struggle for our liberty and for the freedom of our homeland and to work towards a democratic and pluralistic society. Serbestiye is a democratic and patriotic orga- nisation. We defend the past struggle of our people for liberty and democracy. The principles of decentralisation and local management direct our activities. One may voluntarily become a member of our organisation and may voluntarily resign. In our organisation one may only perform an activity if he or she agrees to it. To us the best way to work is with freedom of thought and faith. We believe that one works voluntarily more effectively than if he or she is forced to do so. We don't expect an absolute uniformity of ideas. Everyone is entitled to own his opinion. The truth is not and can not be uniform in the life of our society. We reject Turkish or any other domination. We want to live together, amicably, peacefully, and in a democratic manner together with our neighbouring societies and states. This is possible either through political autonomy, a federation, or a confederation. Nevertheless, if our neighbours in Anatolia do not agree with this, we will form an independent government. Serbestiye is willing to cooperate with the orga- nisations which struggle for the freedom of their people, which demand cooperation of nations, democracy and friendship, and which acknowledge our identity and our rights. We consider those who demand freedomOur society is one of the oldest of Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Iran. Our people were the victims of genocide and much oppression; in spite of this, its present population stands at more than five million. The language, culture, and identity of our ancestors have been preserved until the present day.The Ottoman Empire surrounded our homeland in the 16th century in cooperation with Kurdish rulers and gradually dominated it. Nevertheless, our people had always fought against the oppression of these tyrants and managed to retain independence until 1938.When the Ottoman Empire lost the First World War, the people under its control rose up and demanded their freedom. The Kirmanj-Zazas, the Armenians, the Greeks, and the Kurds fought for self-determination. First the Armenians were massacred, and then the remainder of them were banished. During the Armenian massacre, the Kurdish aghas and sheikhs became the pawns of the Turks; but our people, on the other hand, did their best to protect the Armenians. Many Greeks were also massacred; the rest of them were exiled.Between 1918-1921 our people revolted for their freedom in Kochgiri, fought against the Kemalists, and demanded the autonomy of Kirmanjiye also called Dersim (the name of a part of our homeland). The people of Kochgiri were defeated in this fight, and the Turkish state stained our homeland with blood. Alisher, one of the leaders of the revolt, and his companions retreated into the region of Dersim. In 1925 the Zazas (from the south of our homeland) revolted under the leadership of Sheikh Said demanding their rights, and many of our people were also massacred there. Places like Hani, Piran, Palu, Chewlig and Harput were destroyed, the villages were burned down, and the people were exiled. Sheikh Said and his companions were hanged in Diyarbekir.Then it was Dersim's turn. The Turkish army attacked western Dersim in 1926 and Pulumur in eastern Dersim in 1930. Our people forced the Turkish army to retreat, and once again it was unable to achieve dominance over our people. For this reason the Turkish state planned to attack and seize Dersim by fraud. In 1935 the so called "Tunceli Law" was approved by the Turkish parliament in Ankara to change the name of Dersim (or Mameki) to "Tunceli". In 1937 the Turkish army surrounded Dersim and attacked it on all sides, and Turkish soldiers killed all the people they encountered, both young and old. They burned our forests, villages, and fields. Seid Riza and other leaders of Dersim were hanged in Harput, and nearly seventy thousand people were massacred. This Dersim Massacre ended in 1938. The remainder of our people were exiled to every part of Turkey. Some fighters of Kirmanjiye continued resisting in the mountains until 1945.The Turkish state tried to assimilate our people in every aspect. Dersim was then just a forlorn ghost town for a period. After 1960 our people began to recover and to take their place among Turkish leftists. Nevertheless, the Turkish left and the Kurdish movement both tried to assimilate and to eliminate us.After 1980 our intellectuals began to become aware of this process of assimilation, to acknowledge and study our language and culture, and to defend our identity. Koma Serbestiya Ma is the result of this development.Our homeland is very colourful and diverse with respect to its ethnic identity. Some of us call ourselves Kirmanj, some Zaza, and some Dimli; and some prefer to call themselves simply Ma ("we"). We acknowledge all of these names as belonging to our culture. The population of our people living in and around Dersim call themselves Kirmanj, their language Kirmanjki, their homeland Kirmanjiye, and call their faith Yitiqatê Kirmanjiye (the Faith of Kirmanjiye). Some, on the other hand, describe themselves as Elawi (Alawite), call their language Zonê Ma (our language), and their homeland Welatê Ma (our homeland). Some of our Muslim population describe their language Zonê Ma (our language), and their home- land Welatê Ma (our homeland). Some of our Muslim people call themselves Dimli or Zaza, their language Dimilki or Zazaki, and their homeland Welatê Ma (our homeland). Most of those who call themselves Dimli, also acknowledge the term Zazaki for their language and Zaza for their ethnic name. All our people describe our homeland as Welatê Kirmanj-Zazay.Serbestiye accepts any form of self description which our people choose to use. It does not want to eliminate our diversity and colourfulness.Apart from our language, Kurdish and Turkish are spoken in our homeland. The Armenian language used to be spoken by the Armenians of our homeland as well. Our homeland belongs to all who live there. Nevertheless, we do not accept the relocation of people (who are not native to our homeland into the areas of our homeland from which the Turkish state exiled our people. Some of our people emigrated to other regions to find work, some are in political exile and some had to leave the homeland because of the continuing war there. We have a large Diaspora today. We want to defend our people wherever they are.We claim the right of self-determination for our people. We will not accept any agreement made for us by any other than our people; we will reject it!We will cooperate with everyone in our homeland no matter which class they are from, as long as they resist the dominance of those not native to it.We will not accept any act of violence or despotism. We will work voluntarily and peacefully; but we will never give up our policy of self-defence.We will work with our people without hiding anything from them and without putting any distance between ourselves.We will form our future from the present, replacing the ruins of the past with something completely new. We demand a parliamentary, democratic, and pluralistic political system. The foundation of our political system must be the rule of law. We do not wish for uniformity of ideas, ideologies or parties; we do not believe that such a thing is possible, and we reject any kind of dictatorship. The government of our homeland will be selected or discharged by the elections of our people. We aim for local management, i.e. self-administration in our homeland. There must be autonomous local management in every region according to language and cultural differences. We want to create a secular society; faith must be a private matter for each individual.We reject militarism. However, we are aware that we have to find the right way to defend our people and our homeland.We demand the emancipation of languages. Everyone must be free to use his or her own language everywhere. We will strive to develop our language and literature.We aim towards a social system that guarantees the right of literacy, the safe living conditions, and job security for every member of society. We are in favour of the emancipation of men and women, the rights of children, and human rights in general.The protection of nature and animals must be also guaranteed. We want our society to be self-supporting. However, we do not want any industry or technology which is damaging to the environment.We will protect our villages, and we will avoid further urbanisation. ConclusionOur goals are expressed in the statements above to inform the Kirmanj-Zaza people; each person has to decide for himself how he would like to continue his life.We fight for our liberty !
