Abstract
During the Marash independence war, February 12, 1920, the tribes from Pazarcık region became very important services. Kılıç Ali Bey, whose M. Kemal was sent from Sivas, established his headquarters in Pazarcık, which is a strategic priority because Marash and Antep are under occupation. Assocation of Defence of National Right was established in Pazarcık, a strategic region with the contributions of important Turkmen tribes. These tribes, which live in the summer in the Engizek mountains in the winter on the wide plains extending from Pazarcık to the Marash plains the most important in terms of population and influence are the heads of the Sinemili and Atmalı Turkmen tribes Tapo Halil Aga and Yakup Hamdi Aga who were founding members of this committee. Kılıç Ali Bey made a threat based on this Turkmen power, sent to the command of the French occupation telegraph by the expression of "I will place four thousand tents on the Marash plain, and I will paint the French with blood". Due to their important role in this victory Marash, against French and Armenian, the TBMM in 1926, the Atmalı tribal leader Yakup Hamdi Bey and the Tilkliler tribal ruler Papaz Silo Ağa from the Pazarcık Turkmen tribes had a red lane with the Independence Medal and Tapo Halil Aga, the Sinemili tribal leader, was grateful for his services with telegraphs, which were repeatedly issued by the TBMM. After Marash's victory, Pazarcık Turkmen tribes also helped the Antep Independence War. The heroes of Karayilan, who belongs to Kabalar tribe of Atmalılar, are the subject of epic and folk music.
