Answer: What is Diyarbakir, Turkey mean?

Diyarbakır (Turkish pronunciation: [diˈjar.bakɯr]; Kurdish: Amed‎, Armenian: Տիգրանակերտ, romanized: Tigranakert; Syriac: ܐܡܝܕ‎, romanized: Āmīd) is the largest Kurdish-majority city in Turkey.

Situated around a high plateau by the banks of the Tigris river on which stands the historic Diyarbakır Fortress, it is the administrative capital of the Diyarbakır Province of south-eastern Turkey. It is the second-largest city in Turkey's Southeastern Anatolia Region, after Gaziantep and before Şanlıurfa and the 11th built-up area in Turkey. As of the last 31/12/2019 estimation, the Metropolitan Province population was 1,756,353 inhabitants whom 1,094,551 lived in the built-up (or metro) area made of the 4 urban districts.

Diyarbakır has been a main focal point of the conflict between the Turkish state and various Kurdish separatist groups, and is seen by many Kurds as the de facto capital of Kurdistan. The city was intended to become the capital of an independent Kurdistan following the Treaty of Sèvres, but this was disregarded following subsequent political developments.
