East & Southeast Anatolia - TURKEY

South & Southeast Anatolia This region is geographically the smallest region of Turkey representing only 9.7% of the total area of Turkey with its 75.000 square kilometers of land certainly not that small with respect to natural and historical beauties it possesses. This region of ancient cities, is adorned by attractive natural figures, constituting a real mixture of sights and past combined with originality. Thanks to GAP (Southeastern Anatolian Project) the area is having great changes positively; many farming lands and dam lakes were formed lately with this project. Valleys and Plateaus occupy large areas in the south of southeast Taurus mountains. Central part is very mountainous and eastern part is generally flat. Long summers are very hot and dry, with high evaporation, winters are cold and rainy. Although mountainous areas are affected by Continental climate, western part shows typical characteristics of Mediterranean climate. Southeastern Anatolia is the only region of Turkey where the country produces some oil. The economy is based also on stockbreeding and agriculture, main crops and products are; wheat, barley, lentil, tobacco, cotton, and pistachio nuts. Situated on the broad plain of upper Mesopotamia, Sanliurfa is one of these points, once being a city of 1001 nights and camel caravans. Then comes Diyarbakir with its wonderful architectural designs dates back to the Middle Ages. Here is the Malabadi Bridge presenting a peaceful view, besides the Dicle Bridge over the Tigris (Dicle) river. Another famous river, the Euphrates (Firat), flows through Harran, a wonderful place to see with its ancient city walls and castle. Throughout this region a special atmosphere exists, one uniquely different from other parts of the country. Thus, reflecting a specific life style over its land, Southeastern Anatolia offers a wide variety of opportunities for its visitors. If you especially want to escape from a "sun - sea - sand" holiday, you should explore this region and live out of ordinary days in very distinguished places. Provinces in this region: Sanliurfa, Mardin, Diyarbakir, Adiyaman, Gaziantep, Siirt, Sirnak, Batman, Kilis. 9 cities.

@unfluster Why talk bullshit? A very good question. the 1st genocide of the 20th century, 1.5 million dead, Christians as fair game This is all part of a dysfunctional Armenian diaspora myth. It is used to try and prevent the assimilation of Armenians in their various host communities today. Armenians should worry more about the depopulation of Armenia through emigration. Armenia has alienated its neighbours and is isolated and everybody wants to leave. Go to Armenia and breed Armenians-quietly.

This area had once been Armenia In 1915 the Turks rounded up the entire country & systematically wiped out 1.5 million Christian Armenian. What you should be aware of is that the Armenians would have NEVER died had they been Muslims The Turks like all Muslims view Christians as "Fair Game" In other words the Christians are "infidels" & it is permissible to take advantage and/or kill them should the opportunity arise. Th Christian genocide by Muslim Turks is the first Genocide of th 20th Century.

Stolen or won by Turks, u think the armenian dogs gaved up for free? U armenians have lost all the wars u began. This ground was taken by the Byzantiasns from u and then took Greece from u. At at last the Turks came from the far east and took all the country from the Byzantians. Man u all armenian dogs runed away cowardly from the Turkish Army, and now u say it was stolen?? A country is not a candy u can steal u peace of shit, u'll have to fight for it.
