In September 1935 the thirdInspectorate General (Umumi Müfettişlik, UM) was created,[5] into which the Erzincan province was included. Its creation was based on the Law 1164 from June 1927,[5] which was passed in order toTurkefy the population.[6] The Erzincan province was included in this area.
The fourth UM included the provinces of Erzincan,Tunceli,Elazığ and the areas which would become the province ofBingöl.[7] The Fourth UM was governed by a Governor Commander. Most of the employees in the municipalities were to be from the military and the Governor Commander had the authority to evacuate whole villages and resettle them in other areas.[7] The Inspectorates General were dissolved in 1952 during the Government of theDemocrat Party.[9]
