History

The Kulp region gained importance as a center for the Kurdish chiefdoms in Kulp itself and nearby Zeyrek (to the west).

In 1993, Kulp was under siege by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Inhabitants whom the Turkish Government suspected of siding with the PKK were resettled to Diyarbakır.
