History
Near the village lies a lake locally known as "Gvalé arminu" (Armenian lake). It is a site where more than a thousand Armenians were massacred during the Armenian genocide in 1915. Villagers and researcher Orhan Zuexpayıc say the lake still reveals traces of the killings when its waters recede, including human bones and belongings of the victims.
