Ishiki Dedes
Even though most dedes are still traditionalists, some of them have eventually adopted Ishiki thought. The first dedes who openly declared their non-traditionalist views were Ali Haydar Cilasun, with the publication of his book Alevilik Bir Sır Değildir (Alevism is Not a Secret) in 1995 and Hasan Kılavuz in 2003. The latter is now one of the prominent figures in the Alevi Confederation of Europe (AABK) and its television channel YOL TV.
