Dersim Rebellion

At least six militants have been "neutralized" during an operation in Turkey's eastern Tunceli province, according to the Interior Ministry's statement on Aug. 6.

A bustard, the world's heaviest bird species that can fly, which is rarely seen in Turkey, has been found wounded in the eastern province of Tunceli. The bird had a broken leg and was taken into treatment at the Elazığ Veterinary Faculty.

The bones of 11 victims of the Dersim massacre in 1938, including seven children, have been reburied in a ceremony in the current-day eastern province of Tunceli after having been recovered in mass grave excavations a year ago. 

Human bone fragments found during an excavation conducted in a rural zone in the eastern province of Tunceli will be tested to determine whether they are the remains of 24 people who were killed during the Dersim massacre in 1938.

A rural area in eastern Turkey will be excavated on April 15 to reveal bones allegedly belonging to 24 people from two families killed during the Dersim massacre in 1938.

At the very top, we can hear cries of peace and conciliation, but what happens in daily life?

Imagine you are coming from Europe and you land at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport. (The other one, Sabiha Gökçen Airport, on the Asian side is a different story.) You step foot on Turkish soil; what would be your first impressions?
