Diyarbakir

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Diyarbakir

Town in Asiatic Turkey, on the River Tigris. It has a trade in gold and silver filigree work, copper, wool, and mohair, and manufactures textiles and leather goods. The population grew from 381,000 in 1900 to 1.5 million in 1995 because of the influx of Kurds evicted from homes in southeast Turkey.
