Millet Mejlisi Explained

Millet Mejlisi (National Assembly,, pronounced as /ba/ Tatar: Милләт Мәҗлесе, Tatar: Millät Mäclese, Tatar: ملت مجلسى, in Tatar pronounced as /millæt mæʑlɘsɘ/) was a national assembly of Muslim Turko-Tatars of Inner Russia and Siberia that was created by the decision of Second All-Russian Muslim Congress and worked in Ufa (Üfü) city from November 20, 1917 to January 11, 1918.

Sadri Mäqsudi was elected Millet Mejlisi's Chairman; İbniəmin Əxtəmof and Ğabdraxman Fəxritdinof were elected as Deputy Chairman and Secretary respectively.

Millät Mäclese did not recognize Soviet authority and decided to establish the Idel-Ural State. In order to achieve this goal, the Commission for Implementation of the Idel-Ural State was established in January 1918. In the same month, the executive board of the future autonomy, Milliy İdara (National Board), was established. There were several commissions that worked under the Parliament: legislative assumptions commission, mandate commission, education commission, financial commission, religious commission, territorial autonomy commission, "national regions" commission.

It consisted of about 110 members which were divided into 2 factions: "Türkiysilər", supporters of national-cultural autonomy (Sadri Mäqsudi, Äxmäthadi Mäqsudi, Ğayaz İsxaqi, Zakir Qadıyri, Ğömär Tereğolof and others), and "Tupraqçılar", supporters of territorial autonomy (İlyas Alkin, Hadi Atlasi, Ğalimcan İbrahimof, Sələxetdin Aðnagulof, Ğäbdelbari Battal, Sälimgerey Jantörin, Ğalimcan Şäräf and others).

Members

Another twenty people were elected but did not participate in the meetings, among them Mullanur Waxitof, Möxetdin Qorbanğälief, Rizaetdin Faxretdin, Xädiçä Yamaşeva (Tanaçeva).[1] [2]

Place of sessions

Millät Mäclese's sessions were held at a house that belonged to Sämiğulla Şämğulof, a merchant, at the corner of Aleksandrovskaya (Aliksandırski)[3] and Malaya Kazanskaya streets. Also, there were plans to move Millät Mäclese to Qazan, namely to Ğabdulla Säğdief's house at Yekaterininskaya (Yıkatirinski) Street.[4]
