Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Turkey place Elazığ (Шаблон:IPA-tr) is a city in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, and the administrative centre of Elazığ Province and Elazığ District.[1] Founded in and around the former city of Harput, largely destroyed during the Armenian genocide during World War I, it is located in the uppermost Euphrates valley. The plain on which the city extends has an altitude of Шаблон:Convert. Elazığ resembles an inland peninsula surrounded by the natural Lake Hazar and reservoirs of Keban Dam, Karakaya Dam, Kıralkızı and Özlüce.[2] Its population is 387,072 (2022).[3]

Name

Mezre

Elazığ was once a suburb of the ancient fortress town of Harpoot called Шаблон:Lang. Heinrich Hübschmann believed Mezre to be the settlement of Mazara (Шаблон:Lang) mentioned by Ptolemy, while Nicholas Adontz derived the name from an Arabic word meaning arable land or hamlet (borrowed into Turkish as Шаблон:Lang, "hamlet").[4][5] Mezre may be a shortening of Шаблон:Lang ("hamlet of the aghas/landlords"), explained by the fact that some notables from Harput had been exiled from the city and settled in nearby villages in the late 18th century.[6]

Harpoot

Some Armenians from Harpoot (Шаблон:Lang-hy) are said to have settled on the site in 1617, so Elazığ was sometimes called Nor Kharberd (Шаблон:Literal translation 'New Harpoot') in Armenian.[4] The Kurdish name is Шаблон:Lang.[7] The name of the city in Syriac is Шаблон:Transliteration (Шаблон:Lang) or Шаблон:Transliteration (Шаблон:Lang).[8]

Elazığ

With the creation of the Mamuret-ul-Aziz vilayet of the Ottoman Empire, the name Mamuret-ul-Aziz came into use as a name alternative for the city. This name quickly evolved into al-Aziz[9] (Шаблон:Lang-tr; Шаблон:Lang-ku[7]). In 1937, through an order from Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, this name was Turkified as Elazık (Шаблон:IPA-tr), but due to difficulties in its pronunciation, it was finally accepted as Elazığ.[10]

History

Шаблон:See also The town of Mezre (future Elazığ) was founded on the fertile plain below the hill on which the much older fortress and settlement of Harput were constructed. It was located about Шаблон:Convert to the southwest of Harput. The Hurrians, who settled in this area in Шаблон:Circa 2000 B.C., are the earliest known inhabitants of the area. Harput and its surrounding region were part of the kingdom of Urartu at its maximum extent, and the Urartians may have been the first to build a fortress here.[11] Historian Hakob Manandian believed it to have been the main fortress of the earlier Hayasa-Azzi confederation.[12] It is possible that Harput stands on or is near the site of Carcathiocerta (more commonly identified with Eğil[13]), the first capital of the Kingdom of Sophene.[12] The early Muslim geographers knew Harput as Шаблон:Transliteration ("the fortress of Ziyād"), but the Armenian name, Khartabirt or Kharbirt, whence Kharput and Harput, was generally adopted in time.

Ottoman Harput and Mamûretü'l-Azîz

Harput and its vicinity fell under Turkish control in the year 1085 as a result of the Battle of Manzikert, which took place on August 26, 1071. The region around the fortress changed hands frequently in the subsequent centuries, coming under the control of the Çubukoğulları, Artuqids, Sultanate of Rum, Ilkhanate, Beylik of Dulkadir, Aq Qoyunlu, Safavids and Ottomans.[14]

According to an official history written in 1883, Mezre was originally a small hamlet in the vicinity of Harput which served as the official residence of the Çötelizades, one of the notable families exiled from Harput in the 1780s-90s.Шаблон:Sfn In 1834–36, the Çötelizades hosted the governor and military commander Reşid Mehmed Pasha, who turned the hamlet into a garrison for his campaigns in the eastern regions of the empire.Шаблон:Sfn In the 1850s and 60s, Mezre grew into a small town or suburb of Harput with a prosperous Armenian bourgeoisie.Шаблон:Sfn In 1869, an Armenian named Krikor Ipekjian (later Fabrikatorian) founded a silk factory in Mezre.[4] In 1878, it was made the administrative centre of the Mamuret-ul-Aziz Vilayet (commonly referred to as the Harput Vilayet).[4] According to census data from the 1880s, the population of Mezre consisted of 2,126 non-Muslim and 548 Muslim inhabitants, making it the only vilayet centre with an Armenian majority besides Van.Шаблон:Sfn Meanwhile, Harput proper had a population of 12,974 people (5,125 were non-Muslim and 7,849 Muslim).Шаблон:Sfn The populous villages on the plain below also had mixed Armenian-Muslim populations.[4] The population of Mezre were mainly merchants, craftsmen and bureaucrats.[4]

In 1892, the Armenian National Central Academy (Шаблон:Transliteration) was founded in Mezre. By 1911, there was also an Armenian girls' school and a seminary, as well as two colleges run by French and German missionaries, among other educational institutions.[4] There were four Armenian churches built in Mezre in the 19th (two Armenian Apostolic, one Catholic, and one Protestant).[4] Mezre, like Harput, also had a minority population of Syriac Christians.[15] The building of the American consulate in Harput, established in 1901, was in fact located in Mezre.[16]

Harput was an important station for the American missionaries for many years. The missionaries built Euphrates College, a theological seminary, and boys' and girls' schools. It operated until 1915 when its buildings were confiscated and used by the Ottoman Army as barracks. In November 1895, government-backed Turks and Kurds massacred, looted and burned the Armenian villages on the plain. In the same month, Harput was attacked and the American schools were burned down.[17][18] During the Armenian genocide, many residents were killed.[19][18]

Turkish Republican era

The town was captured by Kurdish rebels during the Sheikh Said rebellion against the government of Atatürk in 1925.[20] It was used as a base of operations by the Turkish Army during the Dersim rebellion.

Elazığ was the seat of the Fourth Inspectorate-General from 1936[21] until 1952.[22] The Inspectorate General included the provinces of Elazığ, Erzincan, Bingöl, and Tunceli and was governed by a Governor Commander under military authority. He had wide-ranging power over the civilians and could order the application of capital punishment without permission from the Turkish parliament. The office of the Governor Commander was eventually left vacant in 1948[23] but the legal framework for the Inspectorate-Generals was only abolished in 1952.[22]

Elazığ rapidly developed into a modern city in the Republican era, while Harput was largely an abandoned ruin in the 1930s and 1940s.Шаблон:Sfn Efforts began in the 1950s to renovate the old town of Harput: some historic monuments were restored, a new municipality building was built and a museum was opened. Over time, Harput was turned into a suburb of Elazığ, and facilities were created for tourism and recreation.Шаблон:Sfn The ruined Armenian neighborhoods of Harput were leveled in the 1960s and the 1970s.Шаблон:Sfn

Ecclesiastical history

Harberd had many Armenian churches and monasteries. Also, in Harberd was seat of a Syrian Orthodox bishop as early as the eleventh century, whose diocese was initially called Ḥiṣn Ziyād and later Harput. Unlike many Christian dioceses in Turkey, Armenian and Assyrian churches are still functioning even after the massacres that took place in the city during the Armenian genocides and Assyrian, in which the bishop and most of his flock were killed.[24] The diocese has two priests, with the main church being based in the ancient Merymana Kilisesi next to the wall of the old fortress.[25][26]

An Armenian Catholic diocese of Kharput was created in 1850 but was not re-established as a residential diocese after the Armenian genocide, only as an Armenian Catholic Titular see.Шаблон:Fact

Demographics

In the early 20th century, the city was mainly inhabited by Turks[27][28] and Armenians.[28] The Armenian population grew rapidly in the late 19th century[8] and made up most[8] or half[28] of the population. According to the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople, before the First World War, 39,788 Armenians lived in the kaza of Harput-Mezre, including 20,590 peasants in the surrounding 50 villages. They had 67 churches, 9 monasteries, and 92 schools. Most of the Armenians of the Kaza lived in the surrounding villages. Men were executed and women and children were sold to Muslims during the Armenian genocide.[29] The city also housed Assyrians and Kurds.[8]

In the late 19th and early 20th century, Elazığ exported raisins, apricots and almonds to Europe. Opium was also grown in the area.[32] Honey was also produced, but not so much exported, but used by locals.[33] Gold was also found in the area in the early 20th century.[34]

More than 30,000 people and at least 212 villages were affected by the construction of the Keban Dam in 1966–1974, which flooded several formerly populated areas. Many of those who were forced to move by the construction of the dam chose to settle in Elazığ and invested the indemnities paid to them by the state in houses in Elazığ or in small businesses. However, over 80% of families in zones affected by the Keban dam were landless peasants and thus ineligible to receive compensation, or peasants with little land who would receive very little money (Koyunlu 1982: 250)

The dam, industry, and mining accounts for the high level of urbanization (42.7% in 1970) surpassing the average levels for Eastern Anatolia. The main agricultural activity of the area centers around vineyards and Elazığ also serves as a market hub for other agricultural products. The state-run vineyards of Elazığ are notable for their production of Buzbağ, a full-flavored red wine.

Today, Elazığ is the capital of the Elazığ Province. It is a busy city with a university and an industrial base, although historic monuments are scarce. The exception is the ancient citadel and town of Harput, a dependency of the greater municipality of Elazığ today situated three miles (Шаблон:Convert) to the north of the city centre. Elazığ is the most developed city (and province) in the region, according to a report carried out by the Ministry of Development, making it the most developed region of Eastern Anatolia Region.[35]

Geography

Elazığ is situated at the northwestern corner of a 30-mile-long valley, known locally as Uluova (literally the Great Valley). The area's Armenians called this valley "Vosgetashd" (the Golden Plain). Its altitude is Шаблон:Convert, latitude and longitude of 38 degrees and 41 minutes North, and 39 degrees and 14 minutes East. Elazığ Province is surrounded by the Euphrates in the north, and since the completion of Keban Dam the rivers came to cover almost ten percent of the surface area (Шаблон:Convert) of the province (Шаблон:Convert). Elazığ's adjacent province borders are with Tunceli (North), Erzincan (North-West), Bingöl (East), Diyarbakır (South), and Malatya (West).
