Diyarbakır (Kurdish: Amed) is one of the largest cities in southeastern Turkey. Situated on the banks of the Tigris River, it is the administrative capital of the Diyarbakır Province. With a population of about 930,000 it is the second largest city in Turkey's south-eastern Anatolia region, after Gaziantep.
Diyarbakir is also a major cultural and economic center in Turkey and as such has been a focal point for conflict between Turkey's government and its Kurdish population.
The name Diyarbakir (Arabic دیار بکر "Diyaru Bakr which means the land of Bakir;Armenian: Տիգրանակերտ Tigranakert;Ancient Greek: Άμιδα, Amida; Ottoman Turkish: دیاربکر Diyâr-ı Bekr; Syriac: ܐܡܝܕ) is inscribed as Amid on the sheath of a sword from the Assyrian period, and the same name was used in other contemporary Syriac and Arabic works. The Romans and Byzantines called the city Amida. Among the Artukid and Akkoyunlu it was known as "Black Amid" (Kara Amid) for the dark color of its walls, while in the Zafername, or eulogies in praise of military victories, it is called "Black Fortress" (Kara Kale). In the Book of Dede Korkut and some other Turkish works it appears as Kara Hamid.

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com One last destination in Turkey - Diyarbakir, epicenter of Kurdish Resistance. A 45-minute ferry ride across a small lake created by Ataturk Dam as part of the 3-1/2 hour ride from Hotel Euphrat. Amusing watching the sheer amount of people crammed into a van get in and out. Reminded me of the "clown cars" in the circus with its never-ending stream of clowns appearing. A brief stop at a gas station for tea and toilets that was loaded with huge semis being washed while drivers snarfed down a fast lunch. Three Kurdish men made a fashion statement wearing this year's favorite purple, gauzy scarf. Travels With Sheila doesn't think she'll ever look at purple again without thinking of Southeast Turkey!
Getting There: Iraqi Kurdistan has two international airports, Erbil and Sulaimany. Currently there are direct international flights from Kurdistan to Dubai, Amman, Beirut and Frankfort. There is the option to reach to Kurdistan by flying to Turkey: - Purchase a ticket to Diyarbakir (the nearest large city to the Turkish / Iraqi Kurdistan border). Upon arrival to the Diyarbakir airport, you will need to take a taxi to the border (Ibrahim Khalil / Habur). Once you have crossed the Turkish border into Iraqi Kurdistan (Ibrahim Khalil/Habur), you will be greeted by the Kurdish customs officials who will issue you a visa and further information on your destination.

Diyarbakir was once part of the ancient Silk Road across Turkey. In this video you will see Dort Ayakli Minare, Virgin Mary Ancient Assyrian Church as well as a caravansarai. I focus a lot on architectural details when I take photographs.
http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com After all the "watch your belongings" warnings by guide Oz on the bus because Diyarbakir is not considered "the safest" of cities, the entire Explore group was a little skittish. We would also have to stick together on the walking tour which I detest. The bus pulled up in front of the Grand Guler Hotel, and sure enough, someone tried to snatch a necklace off one of our group. Not an auspicious beginning. But it was followed by a wonderful lunch at Aslan Yemek Salono, just a few doors away. Could have sat there and eaten my way through each and everyone of their displayed offerings. Perhaps, I'm naive. One of my sons is always warning that he's see me with a bag over my head on television one day being executed. However, it was time to begin speed wa...
Diyarbakır City Wall "This city had formerly been a very small one, till Constantius while Caesar, at the same time that he built another town called Antinopolis, surrounded Amida also with strong towers and stout walls, that the people in the neighbourhood might have a safe place of refuge. And he placed there a store of mural engines, making it formidable to the enemy, as he wished it to be called by his own name." The Constantius mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus was a son of Emperor Constantine who was appointed Caesar by his father. Because Constantine died in 337 AD the walls of Amida (today's Diyarbakir) were built before that year. Constantius, after a long struggle with his brothers managed to become the sole ruler of the Roman Empire: he is usually referred to as Emperor Constant...

A year ago, Turkey's biggest city in the predominately Kurdish region, Diyarbakir, was hoping to cash in on a wave of tourists attracted to its rich history and legacy of multiculturalism. But the collapse of a cease-fire last July between Kurdish rebels and the government led to violence, dashing hopes for the city's economic revival. VOA's Dorian Jones reports.

Ahmet Kaya Diyarbakir Türküsü Album: Beni Bul DİYARBAKIR TÜRKÜSÜ Diyarbakır ortasında vurulmuş uzanırım Ben bu kurşun sesini nerde olsa tanırım Bu dağlarda gençliğim cayı cayır yanarken Ay vurur gözyaşıma ben gecede kalırım. Üzülme sen, üzülme başını öne eğme Gün olur kavuşuruz, dert etme Diyarbakır Ağlama sen ağlama kanlı bezler bağlama Bu yangın söner bir gün, ağlama Diyarbakır. Diyarbakır yolunda toz olmuş dağılırım Bu hırçın depremlerle sarsılırım kanarım Arkadaşların yüzü ağır ağır solarken Gün doğar yaylalara, kahrımdan utanırım. Ey fırtınalı bayır, ey mazlum Diyarbakır Dağlarında kızıl ateş, alnımda kızıl bakır Çiğdemler solar gibi, anneler yanar gibi Dizlerine döküldüm, ağlama Diyarbakır. Söz: Yusuf Hayaloğlu Müzik: Ahmet Kaya
