The Koçgiri tribe also known Koçgiri Kurds[1] (Kurdish: Eşireta Qoçgirî, Turkish : Koçgiri aşireti) is a collection or confederation of Alevi tribes mainly from Sivas Province (and also Erzincan Province), in Turkey. They are mostly speakers of a dialect of Kurmanji, some of them also speak Zaza.
History
They are often described as a Kurdish tribe, a part of the tribe may be partially Turkic in origin.[2][3][4] Most of his tribe is of Kurdish origin,[5][6][7] some of them describe themselves as ethnic Turks that has been Kurdified.[2] This is often claimed as; during the Ottoman period, to flee Selim I's persecutions, Kizilbash Turkmens settled in the mountains among Kurds in the Eastern Anatolia provinces whose administration has been given to Kurdish feudal lords — making them learning Kurdish and progressively forgetting Turkish.[3]
The French geographer and orientalist Vital Cuinet mentionned them in his work La Turquie d'Asie, géographie administrative: statistique, descriptive et raisonnée de chaque province de l'Asie Mineure published between 1891 and 1894, in the pages describing the population of the Sivas Vilayet — of which the kaza of Kochkiri (Kotchkiri as in the book, or Koçkiri) was part.[8] They are almost exclusively referred as Kizilbash (whose they constitute a large part in Sivas), distinguished from other Kurds through a sedentary life occupied either at work in the fields, or transport companies.[8]
They are known to have initiated the Koçgiri rebellion that occurred in March 1921, during the Turkish War of Independence. About 5,000 rebels, including Sunni tribes having joined the uprising later,[9] fought against the Grand National Assembly. They were defeated on 17 June.
