In order to Turkify the local population,[36] in June 1927 the Law 1164 was passed[37] which allowed the creation of Inspectorates-General (Umumi Müffetişlik, UM).[38] The province therefore was included in the so-called First Inspectorate General, which span over the provinces of Hakkâri, Siirt, Van, Mardin, Bitlis, Sanlıurfa, Elaziğ, and Diyarbakır.[39] The first UM was created on the 1 January 1928 and centered in Diyarbakır.[40] The UM was governed by an Inspector General, who governed with a wide-ranging authority over civilian, juridical and military matters.[38] The office of the Inspector General was dissolved in 1952 during the government of the Democrat Party.[41] Hakkari though was still banned for foreign citizens until 1965.[39]
