This study investigated the illegal activities of Beşar and Cemil Çeto brothers, leaders of Pençinar tribe inhabiting in Kurtalan province of today’s Siirt, which was called Garzan during the Ottoman period; and measures taken by the government to stop them. Beşar Çeto, who was the leader of a very crowded tribe, became one of the famous bandits of the region with robberies and homicides he committed until his death in 1915. Although several military units were sent to seize Beşar Çeto, it was not possible to catch him. Beşar Çeto’s brother, Cemil Çeto, who became the leader of Pençinar tribe after his brother’s death, inherited his brother’s legacy by sustaining illegal activities. Cemil Çeto, who is also known with his insurgency during the War of Independence, continued banditry throughout the World War I and the ceasefire period.
