Demographics

On the eve of the First World War, the kaza of Mutki had more than 70 settlements, with mixed Armenian–Kurdish populations. According to the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople, in 1914 there were 5,469 Armenians in 27 settlements of the kaza, with 26 churches, four monasteries, and one school.And the Haji Musa Beg (Leader of the Mutki family and the colonel) killed armenians with Anwar Pasha in 1914-1918 /1919-1924 (with Islamic Government of Ankara),so in there the armenian population was decreased. Mostly Kurds and a small Arab-Turk population live in the region. [3]
