Additional details not found in the CHP Web site:
He was born on December 17, 1948 in Ballıca village of Nazimiye district in Tunceli Province, eastern Turkey to Kamer, a clerk-recorder of deeds and his wife Yemuş. He was the fourth of seven children.
The family belonged to the Cebeligiller clan of the Kureyşan [*] tribe. There are some claims about his ethnicity; the sources mention that he has Kurdish, Zaza or Armenian origin, but he said his roots have come from Turkmen. His father changed their family name in the 1950s from originally Karabulut to Kılıçdaroğlu since all the people in the village they lived in had the same family name.
[*] The Dersim rebellion was an uprising against the Turkish government in the Dersim region of eastern Turkey, which includes Tunceli Province, Elazığ Province, and Bingöl Province. The rebellion was led by Seyid Riza, an Alevi Zaza elite, chief of the Yukarı Abbas Uşağı tribe. After "Tunceli" law, the Turkish government built military observation posts in centers of districts such as Kahmut, Sin, Karaoğlan, Amutka, Danzik, Haydaran etc. Some Armenians who have come from Syria assembled at the circle of Alişer of Koçkiri and tried to provoke people with propaganda.
Chieftain of Yukarı Abbas Uşağı Seyit Riza sent his fellow men to Haydaran, Demenan, Yusufan, Kureyşan tribes to make an alliance. According to Turkish authority, on March 20/21, 1937, 23:00, Demenan and Haydaran tribes broke a bridge connecting Pah and Kahmut at the Harçik Valley. 4.Inspector General ordered to prepare for the action to 2.Mobile Gendarmerie Battalion at Pülümür, 3. Mobile Gendarmerie Battalion at Pülür, 9.Gendarmier Battalion at Mazkirt, Mobile Gendarmerie Regiment at Hozat and sent one infantry company of 9. Mobile Gendarmier Battalion to Pah.
According to official report of 4. General Ispectorate, 13,160 civilians were killed by the Turkish Army and 11.818 people were taken into exile, depopulating the province. According to Dersimi, many tribesmen are shot to death after surrender, women and children were locked into haysheds and fired. According to McDowall, 40.000 people were killed. Acording to Kurdish sources over 70,000 people were killed.[31] Population of the province was 94.000 people.
A key component of the Turkification process was the policy of massive population resettlement, a result of the 1934 law on resettlement, a policy targeting the region of Dersim as one of its first test cases with disastrous consequences for the local population.
"The rebellion was clearly caused by provoking. It caused the most violent tortures that were ever seen in a rebellion in the Republic years. Those that didn't take place in the rebellion and also the families of the rebels were also tortured." says a jurist author Hüseyin Aygün in his book titled Dersim 1938 and Obligatory Settlement.
