History

edit

It was historically considered part of the Pinyānīsh district of the Hakkari region.[3]

The village was populated by Kurds of the Pinyanişî tribe until the Turkish army evacuated the village in the 1990s during the Kurdish–Turkish conflict. The village was subsequently declared a military zone and the locals were forbidden to return.[5][6]
