history

Hakkâri was a long-fought border town between the Ottoman Empire and Iran. The Ottomans granted the local Kurdish princes a certain degree of autonomy in order to secure the borders. 1843 were under the Kurdish leader Bedirxan Beg least 10,000 Christian massacres Armenian and Nestorianer in asita ( Hoşut ) in Sandschak Hakkari killed. Women and children were sold into slavery.

In 1915/1917 around 20,000 Assyrians were killed in the genocide of the Aramaeans in the Hakkâri area .

Erden Kıral made the film One Season in Hakkari in 1982 , which won the Silver Bear at the 1983 Berlinale . The film is based on the story O (1977) by Ferit Edgü and depicts a city and a province in which the vast majority of residents only speak Kurdish . During the military rule after 1980 this was undesirable and the Turkish audience was only allowed to see the film in 1987.

politics

In the 2014 local elections, Dilek Hatipoğlu was elected mayor by the BDP with 66% of the vote. Since one woman and one man each applied for co-mayor at the BDP, but because Turkish local law prohibits voting together, one candidate officially entered the elections, the other candidate unofficially. After the election of the officially running candidate was won, the second unofficial candidate became his deputy mayor. But in practice, the mayor and mayor should have equal rights. (Called co-mayor in the media). In Hakkari the unofficial candidate Nurullah Çiftçi was and thus he was named co-mayor after the election. Both co-mayors were arrested in August 2015. The co-mayors were deposed and replaced by an administrator.
