Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox Turkey place Adıyaman (Шаблон:Lang-ku[1][2][3]) is a city in southeastern Turkey. It is the administrative centre of Adıyaman Province and Adıyaman District.[4] Its population is 267,131 (2021).[5] The inhabitants of the city are mostly Kurdish.[6][7]

The city was one of the worst affected by the February 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes.[8] Many buildings were destroyed and many lives lost in part because bad weather and damage to the transport infrastructure delayed the arrival of rescue teams.[9]

Etymology

An unverified theory[10] is that the former name of the city Hisn-Mansur derives from the name of the Umayyad Emir Mansur ibn Jawana who was killed by the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mansur in this region in 758.[11] Because of the difficulty among the locals in pronouncing Hisn-Mansur, the corruption Semsur emerged.[12]

Various unverifiable theories exist for the name.[12]
