After Evliya Çelebi was Hazzo of Timur the Ag Qoyunlu snatched and destroyed the fortress. After Timur, Hazzo was again under the rule of the Aq Qoyunlu until they were defeated by the Safavids under Shah Ismail in 1502 . In 1514 Hazzo came under Ottoman rule after the Battle of Tschaldiran . İdris-i Bitlisî was on the way on behalf of the Ottoman Sultan Selim I to get the support of the Kurdish princes. Hazzo as part of Bitlis became one of the privileged Kurdish sanjaks . After the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, Hazzo was part of Sason until June 1, 1938 , after which it became part of the province of Siirt as Kozluk. Kozluk has been part of Batman Province since May 18, 1990.
