The Turkish Wikipedia article on Law No. 677 of 1925, read directly for this pass, which states that the law was accepted by the Grand National Assembly on 30 November 1925 and published in the Official Gazette on 13 December 1925 (issue 243), closing every tekke and zaviye in the country and banning the titles sheikhliness, dervishness, discipleship and related ritual designations and vestments, and that the law remains in force today, having received constitutional protection under the 1982 Constitution as an inkilap kanunu (reform law) immune from constitutional challenge, though amendments in 1950 and 1990 permitted select historical tombs to reopen for educational and cultural purposes under government approval.

Reliability Tier3
A community-edited tertiary reference in Turkish, not peer-reviewed, but its law number, acceptance date and Official Gazette date are independently corroborated by an English-language search aggregate citing Turkish academic (dergipark) and government legal-database (mevzuat.gov.tr) sources for the identical dates, and by a separately fetched English-language page (dar-al-masnavi.org, hosting a translated primary text) stating the law is still in effect. No live dispute exists over the enactment date or the law's continued force. NotesCited for Law No. 677's number, its 30 November 1925 acceptance and 13 December 1925 Official Gazette dates, its provisions closing tekkes and zaviyes and banning dervish-order titles, and its continued, constitutionally protected force today.
