Nuri Dersimi

His father decided to move with his family to Harput in 1905, where Dersimi attended secondary school.

In 1907 the family moved again to Hozat, where Dersimi could stay with his uncle and visit the local boarding school.

In October 1920, he departed from Istanbul and travelled to the region of the Koçgiri tribe in the Erzincan Province, where he established several offices for the Society for the Rise of Kurdistan.

After he was summoned by the military commander Abdullah Aldoğan of the Fourth Inspectorate-General in the Dersim region, he became aware that he could not stay in Turkey any longer.
