The Tutaklı Alican Rebellion was a local uprising that took place in 1930 in the present-day districts of Tutak, Bulanık, Karaçoban, Köprüköy, Hınıs and Karayazı in support of the Ararat rebellion. This rebellion was supported by the Berazî and Hasenan (Seyîdan) tribes.
In the spring of 1930, Ferzende Bey of Hasenan visited Ali Can, the leader of the Berazî tribe, and asked him to support the Ararat rebellion. As a result, on July 7, 1930, Ali Can attacked the detachment in the Karayazı district of Pasinler with 40 cavalrymen, thus beginning a rebellion that lasted for three months. At the beginning of August, Ali Can sought refuge with Seyit Han, the head of the Seyîdan branch of the Hasenan tribe, in the Bulanık district of Muş. With Seyit Han and his brothers joining the rebellion, the number of rebels rose to 400. After two months of constant clashes with military units and Kurdish-Alevi tribes (Çarekan) along the Bulanık-Hınıs-Karayazı line, Ali Can was killed in a skirmish. Faced with the failure of the rebellion, Seyit Han and his relatives fled to Syria to reorganize, but were ambushed and killed by the military near Mardin with the help of Kurdish tribes.
Approximately 400 rebels participated in the uprising in the Muş region. Suppressing the rebellion took four months; the main reason for this was the insufficient number of soldiers deployed to the area. The rebellion was suppressed on November 2, 1930.
