Yiğitler (Kurd. Kirik ) is an almost deserted, only temporarily inhabited (as of 2009) Kurdish village in the district of Nazımiye in the Turkish province of Tunceli . Yiğitler is located approx. 8 km west of the district town Nazımiye, near the road connecting Tunceli and Nazımiye at 1,130 m above sea level.
Yiğitler belongs to the Bucak Nazımiye Center. In 1985 there were 159 people living in Yiğitler. In 2009, 17 people remained there due to the incipient rural exodus.
The elderly Muhtar Hıdır Özmen reported in 2009 that 60 households lived in the village in the 1980s. After the school was pillaged and "some other difficulties" the village population slowly but surely left the village. In the 1990s there were only 4 to 5 houses left. In 2009, Yiğitler was only inhabited in the summer months.
The name Kirik is the original place name. In the 1965 census, Kirik is still listed as an alternative name.
