	Tunceli Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tunceli is the only Turkish province with an Alevi majority.
		Tunceli is known for its old buildings (though mainly destroyed by Hamidiye Alays in the late 19th century and Turkish army in 1936-37 military operations against the last remaining Armenians and Alevi Derebeys-local rulers), and wonderful natural landscape, especially along the Munzur River, Munzur Mountain and Mercan Mountains.
		Ninety-eight percent of Tunceli's population has at least primary school education, leading to one of the highest rates of literacy for Turkey.

	Tunceli, Turkey
		In one of the most underdeveloped but also one of the most attractive regions of eastern Turkey lies the provincial town of Tunceli, a settlement on the southern edge of an impressive mountainous region.
		Hemmed in by the paths of the Peri Suyu in the east, the Firat Nehri to the west and the north and the Murat Nehri in the south, all sources of the Euphrates, the triangular region thus created which forms the "wild" Tunceli highlands is characterized by two very different types of mountains.
		Tunceli became the provincial capital in 1950 and like the earlier village of Mamiki, it has little of interest to offer visitors.
