Şark Islahat Planı 1925
I never knew this document existed (shame on me!!). But, I came across when I was reading one of my favorite teacher/politician/academic baskin oran's articles.
"Şark Islahat Planı 1925" can be translated as "plan for eastern restoration/rehabilitation 1925".

I wont go and try to translate every item of it but I think some of them needs translation to make kurdish issue, we are facing right now, more clear and stop the confusion about if there was an asimilation or we/Turks what mistakes we made about it etc.


Actually, a very similar plan is prepared during army intervention during 1960s..(I am sure it was followed by the generals and the deep state during 1980s)
Anyway the gist of it:

asimilation: it wants the assimilation of kurds.

item 14: it mentions what needs to be done for temassul (means assimilation): opening 'Türk Ocakları-racist/turk associations/clubs-, mükemmel kız mektepleri-perfect girls schools-, leyli iptidailer-boarding schools '

colonization
item 5: immigrants from Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Azerbaycan and plus laz population were going to sent to kurdish areas
migration:
item numbers 5., 9. and 15: say that kurds should be moved with their families to the places where turks live.
abstraction:
item 2: it says that east should have 5 different areas and item nimber 25 says that foreigners should not be let enter the area without permission
missionaries:
item 15: ..recommends that boys and girls should be raised as missionaries and they should be supported for higher education

and also in the plan at 1960, they added something to what we had in 1925
- teaching kurds that they are turks
-explaining the intellects of the world that turkey does not have kurdish problem
-and establishing anew institute which will prove that kurts are actually 'mountain turks'

thanks handsome for the useful information, enlightening how organized the republic of (only) turks has been beginning from the very early days even ottoman days...

enlightenment started in 17th century for the civilized people of the world (though some faced the shame hitler and musollini caused, but they almost overcame it)... what a pity some are still late for that! still many defending those stupid "secret" plans, see şemdinli bombing by state forces to a bookstore run by a kurd as a most recent act accordingly or fresh statements of the head of turkish history institution (türk tarih kurumu)claiming kurds arent still kurds (this institution calls armenians to handle the issue of genocide in an impartial, objective meeting), or the turkish prime minister not saying hi to the kurdish parliamentarian at the 23rd april reception...

how many more years, how many more centuries will it be like this!

i honestly want a noah's flood for my country! and honestly i want to be the first to get drowned for sake of better generations who truly deserve taking breath and drink water on these beautiful land!

Cheers Handsom, that surely shed some light on the non-existent Kurdish problem. I'm waiting to hear opinions on the source - I'm betting on Kurdish provocation

There are two ways to brainwash everybody - one is by constantly repeating there are no Kurds in Turkey and I'm sure this one can be proven (throughout history bigger lies found scientific explanations); the other by making society believe they are threatened by Kurds. Here, PKK paradoxically does a good job to the Turkish government because they can use it as proof of Kurdish violence against the republic Turks love so much.

Too bad those means work and we see Turks saying they have no problem with Kurds, that it's Kurds who have a problem with Turkey for no reason. The beasts.

At last, you will get a big zero. u are trying to satisfy urself but in turkey everything is not as u told to foreign ppl. we know this. I dont care what others and europen Union thinks. coz there is one thing that all ppl when come to turkey forgets what u post here and sees the reality. the modern Turkey. it wont work, keep working! Im just laughing at you. but I DONT UNDERSTAND ONE THİNG. HOW COME u all hate turkey, come together on this language site.

""""Şark Islahat Planı 1925 """"

thank you. I didnt know this coz my history teacher was pregnant when we came to this topic... what is the other subject? Big miedle east project??? btw where where u from handsom in turkey????????????

we are not talking about history of 100 years here.
We are talking about our recent history and the present time here.
Just look at the events of last 25 years, look at what we have been doing in the east..
Are we not the people said in 1980's that 'there is no such a thing called kurd'? eh?

what??? u mean terrorists are all right, are u defending terrorism? (Sorry moderators, I didnt mean something personal attack, just asking)

why didnt u count what terrorists did last 25 years? they burnt villages, killed children, women,,, fired houses, fired buses with innocent ppl in, killed teachers, nurses, doctors who came there for serving, prevented children to go to schools, forced kurdish ppl for helping them. bombed big cities without looking there turk, kurd, laz, english around. so turkey is guilty coz Turkey tries to defend civilians? only turkey is guilty. but Terrorists come to villages with flowers???

Handsom, Now I wish I hadnt replied to your topic The topic has turned into something else than its main point now :-S

Whatever I posted is not a personal attack. I just want ppl see why u always post these? why u are one sided. about documents. I dont need any document to show you, coz I have realities, not papers. I have friends, students, neighbors. when I look at around I see that u are just trying to provoke! dont worry if this is a personal attack, moderators will warn me as usual. Im not racist or nationalist, I m just trying to show what s going on turkey and what some ppl who live abroad tell foreign ppl about turkey. in school, we learnt to love our country and work for it. if this is nastionlism, nationalism is the best thing in the world. u start this topics then u say I dont open this subjects, u are very interesting! I post a song, then u say it s stolen even our national anthem is stolen. what it changes if the music is belongs to someone else. once I thought u will say " I wrote national anthem, not mehmet akif ersoy" ) u are just trying to be oblective but u are not. u have anger in ur mind. that s why u try to offend turkish ppl with these posts.

Of course it is good to love your country, but loving it also means you care about the WRONGS as well as the RIGHTS? Maybe you DO care, and you DO see faults, but you think that you must only present your country's good side to non-Turkish people

janis has it never crossed your mind that maybe we criticize some things about Turkey because we want them to change, to benefit all the citizens in the country? This is the way problems are dealt with. In a supposedly democratic country there shold be no need to stress this point, as it should be natural.
If you keep closing your eyes and denying the past (and present might I add), the problem will never be solved. It has been escalating for so long now, it's time to something about it. Don't you see it's tearing up the country? It is for your own good that you face up to reality and show willingness to make peace. The kurds who want to break free of Turkey are never going to put their arms down, and regular kurds are never going to have respect and acknowledge turkish rule when the wrongs that have so obviouusly been done to them are not being recognised even today.
This is something for all hardcore nationalists to chew on.

janis why don't you take a stand to what I am saying and the facts which thehandsom has laid out? Instead of addressing the problem you continue in the same dreadful track of accusations.
Look kardeşim, the terrorism (very bad thing, yes we all know) we see in Turkey is highly likely a result of the politics which has been led by the government, proved by the initial post in this thread. Just take a stand already instead of accusing everyone who doesn't agree with you of being supporters of terrorism.

What if the tables were turned? Say you lived in another country, any country, and the government, the people there tried to make you forget your heritage, language, etc. and did dreadful things to you if you didn't comply, would you not rebel? Would you not stand up for yourself, your rights, your people and fight those wanting to oppress you?

Ok handsom,im curious to know what do you think is the right way Türkiye should do to fix this problem
We already know what Jan think

He says, ''we maybe Turk,we maybe Kurd,Greek,Arab,parasian...or whatever
But we all are Turkish ''btw,Turkish in the word which describe Citizen of Türkiye,as Turkish is the name of the language too,its not as preffering one side over the other'' live in same ONE country which is Türkiye ''
That is always his main argument.

On the other side some Kurds,and many mambers here arguing that,Türkiye should give some land to the Kurd,and have some understanding in living together some how,of course on the long run say few years later if not sooner,the demands will move another step to be 1 Kurdistan...but never mind this now,its not our issue

This issue has been over discussed here,and you've always joint the other side ''not Jan's i mean'
So,as Turkish ''which again means citizen of Türkiye'' what do you think ?
You demand Türkiye to give Kurds some land also ?!

awwwww thank u both catwoman and lady

if thats a freedoms and rights topic,i'm afraid who defending some ethnicty they r not honest,and thats such a big shame to make policies about ethnicities on this modern age??noone of us never can defend any privilage or superitory to any ethnicity in modern and democratical countries,but thats really very danger tool when using with bad aimed hands...

It's an old game, Divide and Rule

Why don't we take a look at all the people who have wanted that part of Turkey that just happens to have an interest:
The Treaty of Sevres

Let's then take a look at:

Headwaters of the Tigress and Euphrates

I wonder what's going on here? It looks to me like a lot of people are being duped.

If you are a citizen of Turkey, you are a Turk and should support and work with the existing system. If you don't like it, work to change it within the system. To do otherwise is to be a traitor. Anyway, that's what it looks like to me.

I think the problem is what it has always been, control of vital resources and outside manipulation for the control of those resources.

Again:

Divide and Rule
