Bağözü ( Kurd. Tiruva ) is a Kurdish village in the Dargeçit district of the Turkish province of Mardin . It is located at about 900 m above sea level in southeastern Anatolia , about 5 km east of Dargeçit.
The original Kurdish name of the place is Tirvan. It means "archer" and was only changed after the establishment of the Turkish Republic.
In 1990 the village had 489 inhabitants. In 1992 or 1993 the village was evacuated as part of the armed fighting with the PKK . From this point on, the village could no longer be entered without a permit.
Residents returned later; In 2011 the population was 94. The village has a school. One of its hamlets ( Mezra ) is called Konaklı.
In February 2012, parts of bones and clothing from eleven people were found in excavations ordered by the public prosecutor. It is believed to be related to an incident in 1995, when the Jandarma arrested nine people, including three children, in the vicinity. Two children and the other adults then disappeared without a trace. A non-commissioned officer involved also disappeared after the appearance of the body of an arrested person.
