History

In order to Turkify the Kurds of Siirt,[7] Law 1164 was passed in June 1927,[8] which allowed the creation of Inspectorates-General (Umumi Müffetişlik, UM)[9] that governed with martial law under a state of emergency.[10] The Siirt province was included in the so called First Inspectorate General (Umumi Müfettişlik, UM) in which an Inspector General governed with wide-ranging authority of civilian, juridical and military matters.[9] The UM covered the provinces of Hakkâri, Siirt, Van, Mardin, Bitlis, Sanlıurfa, Elaziğ and Diyarbakır.[9] The Inspectorate Generals were dissolved in 1952 during the government of the Democrat Party.[11] Entrance to Siirt province was forbidden to foreigners until 1965.[10]

In July 1987, the Siirt province was included in to the state of emergency region OHAL, which was declared to counter the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), and governed by a supergovernor who was invested with additional powers than a normal governor, including the power to relocate and resettle whole settlements.[12] In December 1990 with the Decree No. 430, the supergovernor and the provincial governors in the OHAL region received immunity against any legal prosecution in connections with actions they made due to the powers they received from Decree No. 430.[13] In November 1999, the state of emergency under which the province was governed was finally ended.[14]
