Özet:

Bulanik Township is located on important passages in Anatolia. Information about Bulanik’s administrators, Abdulfettazâdes, dates back to 1709. Together with Küçük Alioğlu, they clashed with the state forces in 1816 because of their attempts to commit banditry. Afterwards, the clan chiefs Ağca and Ahmet were captured and executed. The name Köse Bekiroğlu Ali was first encountered in 1729 due to a banditry incident. In 1819, they attacked the state administrators together with the Kılıçlı Tribe. In the mid-19th century, their leader was Kel Mustafa, the Director of Keferdiz Township. Reyhanlı, Ulaşlı, Okçu İzzeddunlü, Seyhli and Amiki tribes were located in the area extending from the Amik Plain to the Bulanik sub-district. On the other hand, Hacılar, Tiyek, Akbez, Keferdiz and Bulanik sub-districts were settled. In this region, where the state authority has disappeared, administrative confusion has been added to the events. These negativities caused conflicts between Abdülfettahzâdes and Köse Bekirzâdes. In fact, these conflicts resulted in the death of İnce Bey, the Director of Bulanik Township. Kel Mustafa escaped to Kayabası Village and continued his banditry activities there. After the events, Keferdiz, which was under the rule of Köse Bekirzâdes, was raided twice by Abdulfettahzâdes.
