Reform plan for the Kurdish territories in Turkey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Report for Reform in the East (Turkish: Şark Islahat Raporu, or Şark Islahat Planı) was a report prepared by the Reform Council for the East (Turkish: Şark Islahat Encümeni) in response to the Sheik Said rebellion.[1] The Reform Council was created on 8 September 1925 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and presided over by İsmet İnönü. Its members were selected from the highest political and military authorities like Chief of Staff Marshal Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak, Justice Minister Mahmut Esat Bozkurt, Commerce Minister Ali Cenani, Kâzım Özalp[2] Şükrü Kaya, Abdülhalik Renda and Celâl Bayar.[1]
On 25 September 1925, the Reform Council for the East presented its report in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey with the following recommendations for a reform plan (Şark Islahat Planı).[1]
The report encouraged several resettlement laws[2] and the establishment of three Inspectorates Generals which included provinces with a Kurdish majority.[3] In the Inspectorates the use of the Kurdish language was prohibited in government buildings, schools or markets, and Turkish officials could punish the use of Kurdish according to a law that included fixed tariffs for each word in the Kurdish.[4]
