History
The village was emptied in 1991 due to the Kurdish–Turkish conflict and the locals immigrated to France. Only the local church, school and some houses remained intact. Few locals have since then returned to rebuild the village, but the village was hit by fire in 2015 which obstructed its reconstruction.
