The Koçgiri Rebellion or Koçkiri Rebellion was an Alevi Kurdish uprising,[3] in the overwhelmingly militant Kocgiri region. While waged by the Kızılbaş Koçgiri tribe, it was originally suggested by members of an organisation known as the Society for the Rise of Kurdistan.

The commander of the Central Army Nureddin Pasha sent a force of some 3,000 cavalrymen and irregulars including Topal Osman's battalions.[4] Rebels were crushed by June 17, 1921.[5]

Before repressed the revel, Nurettin Pasha said (as to some sources, this words belong to Topal Osman[6]):

In Turkey, we cleaned up people who speak "zo" (Armenians), I'm going to clean up people who speak "lo" (Kurdish) by their roots.[7][8]

— Turkish original, Türkiye'de (Memlekette) Zo (Ermeniler) diyenleri temizledik, Lo (Kürtler) diyenlerin köklerini de ben temizleyeceğim.[6]

The brutality of the repression made the Grand National Assembly decide to put Nureddin Pasha on trial. Although Nureddin Pasha was dismissed on November 3, 1921 and recalled to Ankara, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk intervened and prevented a trial.[4]
