Dear Ladies and Gentlemen;<\/p>\n

\u201cTunceli Cemevi\u201d, located at our holy place \u201cGole \u00c7eto\u201d in Dersim, was built with the joint efforts and contributions of followers of the Alevi \u201cway\u201d in Europe and Turkey.<\/p>\n

But unfortunately, the person named \u201cAli Ekber Yurt\u201d took over the elections in 2011 through various intrigues, state violence and court decisions, practically theft of work, through membership letters with forged signatures.<\/p>\n

Since that day, Ali Ekber Yurt has ceased to register as members, has silenced all those who spoke the word of truth or had them excluded from membership, has turned his face to the state power, has become the director of a state institution and has turned his back on his lodge, his creed, his faith, his creed, closed the door of the Cemevi to the Alevis and made it open to all.<\/p>\n

Although the land and therefore the building property belong to the municipality, for some reason the new and outgoing mayors have not taken any initiative to save our Cem house from this occupation ...<\/p>\n

The recent General Assembly was sabotaged by police intervention and our place of faith dergah was brought back to the court gates with an attitude that does not suit our path.<\/p>\n

We, as servants of the \u201croad\u201d in Europe, \u201cOcak Pirs\u201d and veterans of the construction of \u201cTunceli Cemevi\u201d, with a proposed solution suitable for our \u201cstreet\u201d, register as members under the supervision of an assembly consisting of \u201cWith the consent\u201d of all Ocak Pirs. We hope and demand that the process will again be carried out carefully and fairly, and that the services in the Cemevi will be under the supervision, control and authority of this hearth council to be established. <\/p>\n

\u201cTunceli Cemevi\u201d does not belong to Ali Ekber, the state or the Directorate of Religious Affairs, but to the Alevis and the people of Dersim...<\/p>\n

Please keep your hands off our faith and our dervish lodges!<\/p>\n

We will protect our faith, our confession and our dervish lodge!
\nWe will not leave our work to usurpers and our community house to intruders!<\/p>\n

\u201cYou thieves ruined Dersim's charm, my son, but we all pay the price together.\u201d
