Script error: No such module "other uses". Template:Infobox Turkey place Derik (Template:Langx)[1] is a municipality and district of Mardin Province, Turkey.[2] Its area is 1,381 km2,[3] and its population is 62,028 (2022).[4]

History

The town is first mentioned in the late 14th century, however a Roman fort indicates that the area has been inhabited for longer. Prior to the Assyrian and Armenian genocide, Assyrians and Armenians formed the majority in the district.[5] The Armenian population of the county continued to form the majority even up until the 1930s, when systematic state persecution forced many to emigrate. One family continues to live here, and they maintain the old Armenian Church.[6][7] The Armenian Apostolic Church in Derik is only one out of six in Anatolian Turkey that operates as a church.[8]

Today Kurds and Turks live in Derik.[9]

Government

In the local elections of April 10 Mülkiye Esmez from the Peoples' Democratic Party was elected mayor.[10] But on 15 November 2019 she was detained and a day later dismissed from her post as mayor and the District Governor Hakan Kafkas was appointed as trustee instead.[11]

There are 80 neighbourhoods in Derik District:[12]
