Ulupamir is a village in Erciş district, Van Province, Turkey. == History== Ulupamir (meaning ''Great Pamir'') is a village of mostly Kyrgyz. They came from the Great Pamir and Little Pamir in the Wakhan, northern Afghanistan, in 1982. They fled to Pakistan in 1978 in the aftermath of the Saur Revolution. However they did not adjust well to the hot Pakistani climate, so much so that 450 of them lost their lives. They requested 5,000 visas from the United States Consulate in Peshawar for resettlement in Alaska (a region that shares the climate and temperature of the Wakhan). Their request was denied. To solve this situation the group leader proposed to go to Turkey as immigrants and submitted a request for help to the Turkish Embassy in Pakistan. Kyrgyz from Wakhan region of Afghanistan moved to Pakistan in the 1970s. Nearly 1,100 of these were accepted by Turkey to settle in Ulupamir (or “Great Pamir” in Kyrgyz), their resettlement village in Van Province.〔(Turkey: Kyrgyz Nomads Struggle To Make Peace With Settled Existence )〕 The Turkish Military Government, led by Kenan Evren, having recently taken power in the September 12th coup, accepted this request. 1,150 of the KyrgYz were taken to Adana by plane. After this they were separated between Malatya and Van Provinces. In 1983, the government of Turgut Özal settled them in the village of Ulupamir where 3,850 Kyrgyz Turks now live.〔(Aksiyon Dergisi ) ''Vanın Kırgızları AB yolunda'' (15/08/2005)〕 The documentary film ''37 Uses for a Dead Sheep - the story of the Pamir Kirghiz'' was based on the life of these Kyrgyz in their new home. 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「Ulupamir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
