Ehmetjan Qasimi (15 April 1914–27 August 1949〔also transliterated as Ehmetjan Qasimi, Exmetjan Qasimi, Ahmetjan Khasim, Ahmet Jan Kasimi, Aḥmadjān Qāsim, or Ahmetcan Kasim〕) was a Uyghur political leader in Xinjiang province of the Republic of China. ==Life and Political Career== Ehmetjan was born in Ghulzha (Yining in Chinese) in 1914. He studied at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East, Moscow in 1936 and was a member of Communist Party of Soviet Union. Ehmetjan was described as "Stalin's man" and as a "communist-minded progressive".〔(Forbes 1986, p. 174 )〕 Qasim Russified his surname to "Kasimov" and became a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. He was a member of the governing council of the Second East Turkestan Republic, a Soviet-backed administration founded in three northwestern districts of Xinjiang during the Ili Rebellion in November 1944.〔Benson 1990:138〕 Qasimi himself was not involved with the planning of the rebellion.〔Benson 1990:140〕 The Second ETR was initially led by Elihan Tore, who favored forming a conservative Islamic government.〔(Mark Dickens, "The Soviets in Xinjiang 1911-1949" ) (Last Accessed 2010-11-14 )〕 Tore disappeared in the Soviet Union in 1946. Qasimi was a leader of the pro-Soviet Sinkiang Turkic People's National Liberation Committee (STPNLC).〔 In June 1946, Qasimi reached a political agreement with the Nationalist Chinese leader Zhang Zhizhong to form a coalition provincial government in Dihua (present day Urumqi).〔Benson 1990:63, 70〕 The Second ETR was disbanded in name but the three districts retained autonomy.〔 As a vice-chairman of the coalition government, Qasimi called for unity and support for the government.〔Benson 1990:84, 101〕 He explained that the people of Ili had risen in rebellion only to secure their rights under the Chinese constitution.〔Benson 1990:86〕 He was a member of Xinjiang's delegation to the National Assembly in Nanjing.〔 In the summer of 1949, as Chinese Nationalists were losing the civil war to the Chinese Communists, the Soviet Union planned for ETR leaders to switch sides. On August 22, 1949, Vasiliy Borisov, the Soviet Vice-Consul at Yining, accompanied ETR leadership in auto trip to USSR for urgent talks with Soviet officials about future of ETR, where they were told to cooperate with Communist Party of China. They were invited by Chinese Communist leader, Mao Zedong to attend the First Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beijing to prepare for the founding of the People's Republic of China. On August 24, 1949 Ehmetjan, Abdulkerim Abbas, Ishaq Beg Munonov, Dalelkhan Sugirbayev, Luo Zhi and other top ETR representatives (11 men in all) boarded a plane in Almaty, the capital of the Kazakh SSR, for Beijing. On September 3, the Soviet Union informed Saifuddin Azizi, another leader of the ETR, who was not on the flight that the plane had crashed near Lake Baikal en route to Beijing, killing all on board.〔Donald H. McMillen, Chinese Communist Power and Policy in Xinjiang, 1949-1977 (Boulder, Colorado:Westview Press, 1979), p. 30〕 Saifuddin and two other ETR leaders then traveled to Beijing by train where they agreed to incorporate the Three Districts into the newly founded People's Republic of China and accept important positions within the administration. News of plane crash and death of Ehmetjan was not publicly announced in Xinjiang until early December, after the People's Liberation Army had secured the region. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ehmetjan Qasim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
