Documentary dead complaints for turkish-armenian fight 1909 in adana: Kibaro?ullarının a?ıtı

In this essay it is aimed to publish the three Turkish dead complaint texts from Adana, those the execution of the sons from Kibaro?ullari{dotless}, a Turkish family, due to the Turkish-Armenian fight in the year 1909. The dead complaint texts composed by a relative of Kibaro?ullari{dotless} named Bahar Savaş from Adana recorded by one 95 years old person and are published for the first time here. There are 6 versions to this dead complaint, of which three are shown here as comparison material: the version of Ismail Görkem is the most extensive. Those the dead complaint underlying Turkish-Armenian fight of 1909 is here checked by further historical documents. A consistent counterpart for the verbally delivered dead complaint texts, exactly the same as Öztunas remarks form the memory-moderate excessive quantity of the memoirs of Cemal Paşa and Veron Dumehjian as a parallel to those from a German history dictionary. The dead complaint "Kibarlari{dotless}n Destani{dotless}" proves innocence of the Turks who are executed and criticizes the attitude of the governor Cemal Pascha and the policy of the government at that time.
