Mustafa Muğlalı
Mustafa Muğlalı (1882 – 11 December 1951) was an officer of the Ottoman Army and the general of the Turkish Army. He served as an officer in World War I and the Turkish War of Independence. As a General of the Third Army, he took part in the defense of Diyarbakır during the Sheikh Said Rebellion in 1925. 33 Bullets Incident In 1943, Muğlalı ordered the execution of 33 alleged Kurdish smugglers, an event known as the Muğlalı incident. One of the villagers survived. In 1948, the incident was brought to the attention of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, as potential criminal charges were discussed. On 1 September 1949, Muğlalı was arrested and charged over the incident. In February 1950, a Turkish military court found him guilty of murder and sentenced him to death. However, due to Muğlalı's old age and other extenuating circumstances, such as his dementia, his sentence was later commuted to 20 years in prison. He died in the Gülhane Military Hospital in Ank ...

Muğlalı Incident
The Muğlalı incident, also known as the 33 Bullet incident, was a massacre that resulted in the deaths of 32 Kurdish and Küresünni civilians in July 1943, in Özalp, Van. They were executed for alleged animal smuggling on the orders of the 3rd Army Commander General Mustafa Muğlalı. Incident During World War II, smuggling incidents increased, especially on the Iranian border.

Gendarmerie units sent to the border upon a tip that the Milan tribe, some of whom live on Iranian territory, abducted a large herd of animals in July 1943, could not catch the smugglers because they fled to Iran. Then, 40 relatives of the tribe living in Özalp were detained. Although the court arrested only 5 people and released the rest, 33 people were handed over to a military unit under the command of two second lieutenants for questioning, by order of ...

The word derives from Middle French , from older Italian (also Spanish) ''infanteria'' (foot soldiers too inexperienced for cavalry), from Latin '' ...

The term "the people" refers to the public or Common people, common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of Person, persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation.
