The “Tunceli Cemevi”, located on our Sacred Place “Göle Çeto” in Dersim, was built with the joint efforts and contributions of the Alevi “Road” suitors in Europe and Turkey.
However, unfortunately, the person known as “Ali Akbar Yurt” seized the election held in 2011 with various intrigues, state power and court decision, almost with labor theft, with the writings of members with fake signatures.
From that day to this day, Ali Akbar Yurt stopped the registration of members, silenced or expelled all those who made the “Word of Truth”, turned his face to the power of the State, became the director of a State institution, turned his back on his hearth, his confession, his faith and his creed, and kept the door of the Jamawi open to everyone except the Alevis.
Although the ownership of the land and therefore the building belongs to the Municipality, for some reason, the incoming and outgoing presidents did not take any initiative and save our Cem house from this occupation…
The general assembly held in the past days was sabotaged by the police intervention and our Place of Faith-Lodge was brought back to the gates of the court in an attitude that does not suit our Way at all.
We, as the servants of the “Way” in Europe, the veterans of the construction of the “January Pirs” and the “Tunceli Cemevi”, hope and demand that the membership registration process be carried out meticulously and fairly again under the supervision of an Assembly consisting of all the January Pirs with “consent”, and that the religious services in the Cem House be under the supervision, supervision and authority of this Quarry Assembly to be established.
“Tunceli Cemevi” does not belong to Ali Akbar, the state-Diyanet, but to the Alevis, the people of Dersim…
Please, take your hands off both our faith and our Lodges!
We Will Protect Our Faith, Our Confession, Our Lodge!
We will not leave our labor to the usurpers and our cem house to the occupiers!
