		In the 19th century Diarbekr was one of the largest and most flourishing cities of Asia, and as a commercial centre it now stands at the meeting-point of several important routes.
		Diarbekr became a Roman colony in A.D. 230 under the name of Amida, and received a Christian bishop in A.D. It was enlarged and strengthened by Constantius II., in whose reign it was taken of ter a long siege by Shapur (Sapor) II., king of Persia.
		The vilayet of Diarbekr extends south from Palu on the Euphrates to Mardin and Nisibin on the edge of the Mesopotamian plain, and is divided into three sanjaks—Arghana, Diarbekr and Mardin.

		He assumed the imperial title of "King Naram-Sin, of the four quarters", and, like his grandfather, was addressed as "the god of Agade" (Akkad), reminiscent of the divine honours claimed by the Pharaohs of Egypt.
		A finely executed bas relief representing Naram-Sin, and bearing a striking resemblance to early Egyptian art in many of its features, has been found at Diarbekr, in modern Turkey.
		Babylonian art, however, had already attained a high degree of excellence; two cylinder seals of the time of Sargon are among the most beautiful specimens of the gem-cutter's art ever discovered.

		Next came the American consul who acts for us while Mr Rawlins is at Diarbekr [Diyarbakir (Amida)] (the latter is accredited to both vilayets.) He was a man, was the American consul; he sat with me for near 2 hours and gave me exactly the information I wanted.
		Here, as at Diarbekr, they were on the very edge of a terrible massacre.
		The news of the Sultan's abdication came on the 26th but the danger was over on the 24th when the General of the Dersin district telegraphed to the acting Vali at Diarbekr that if what is generally spoken of as a masaleh - an incident - were to occur, he would hold him personally responsible.

		I spent 3 days in Diarbekr [Diyarbakir (Amida)]; it is one of the most interesting of Turkish cities.
		This was on April 19; it was, as I believe, Abdul Hamid's last expedient and I believe too that similar orders were received in all parts of the empire and that the catastrophe was ony averted by a series of fortunate accidents, backed by the influence of the committees.
		The Moslem population has been roused by Abdul Hamed's messages and by the rapid organization of the Muhammidieh committees and it hears with sullen anger of the determination of the new government to protect and avenge the Christians.

	Birejik - LoveToKnow 1911
		Bir; classical, Apamea-Zeugma), a town of North-West Mesopotamia, in the Aleppo vilayet, altitude 1170 ft., built on a limestone cliff 400 ft. high on the left bank of the Euphrates.
		It is situated at one of the most important crossings of the Euphrates, where there was, in ancient times, a bridge of boats, and is now a ferry on the road from Aleppo to Urfa, Diarbekr and Mosul.
		Birejik corresponds actually to Apamea, which lay opposite Zeugma, and commanded the bridge with its strong castle (Kala Beda) now much ruined.

	The Cradle of Mankind: Life in Eastern Kurdistan
		Diarbekr in 1895 was one of the centres of the Armenian massacres, and as many as 2500 perished in this place alone.
		The massacre was undoubtedly prompted by the Government of Constantinople; but their agents were the fanatical Kurds who swarm in the slums of Diarbekr, and who flocked in eagerly from the surrounding villages to take a hand in the work of slaughter and to share in the plunder which followed.
		There was plenty of “talk” at Diarbekr; and we frequently heard the children (no doubt in imitation of their elders) invoking curses on us as we passed along the streets.

		Northwards,we may either view Mount Masius as the natural boundary, or the course of the Tigris from Diarbekr to Til, or even perhaps the Armenian mountain-chain north of this portion of the Tigris, from whence that river receives its early tributaries.
		Westward, we might confine Assyria to the country watered by the affluents of the Tigris, or extend it so as to in elude the Khabour and its tributaries, or finally venture to carry it across the whole of Mesopotamia, and make it be bounded by the Euphrates.
		Reaching on the north to the thirty-eighth and on the south to the thirty-fourth parallel, she had a length diagonally from Diarbekr to the alluvium of 350 miles, and a breadth between the Euphrates and Mount Zagros varying from about 300 to 170 miles.

	Atabeg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These dynasties were founded by emancipated mamelukes, who had held high office at court and in camp under powerful amirs, and who, on their death, first became stadtholders for their descendants, and then usurped the throne of their masters.
		There was an atabeg dynasty in Damascus founded by Tughtigin (1103-1128): there was another to the N.E., that of the Ortokids, represented by Sokman, who established himself at Kaifa in Diarbekr about 1101, and by his brother Ilghazi, who received Mardi.
		After the end of Seljuk rule, the title was used only intermittently.

		On their passage through the Kurdish mountains, they were robbed, and narrowly escaped being murdered, and were finally forced to return to Mosul.

		That these banks could not have been the world but of a population prior as to date; and the elevation of Babylon, therefore, must have been posterior to that of Nineveh, as I think I have chronologically demonstrated in the memoir above cited.
		The modern Aderbidjan, which was a part of Medea, the mountains of Koulderstan, and those of Diarbekr, abound with subterranean canals, by means of which the ancient inhabitants conveyed water to their parched soil in order to fertilize it.
		It was regarded as a meritorious act and a religious duty prescribed by Zoroaster, who, instead of preaching celibacy, mortifications, and other pretended virtues of the monkish sort, repeats continually in the passages that are preserved respecting him in the Sad-der and the Zend-avesta:

		It is presumed that they have all been murdered.
		It will have no choice but to bear the responsibility, even if it should lose control over the elements it has called, as is particularly likely to happen in the Vilayet Diarbekr.
		Just like the destruction of the Armenians is implied in this country as being a result of German incitement, the Turkish government is trying to hide its behaviour from the European public behind our authority.
