Diyarbekir (Turkmenistan)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diyarbekir (Russian: Диярбекир; Turkmen: Diýärbekir) was a medieval settlement located in the Daşoguz region of modern-day Turkmenistan.[1]
The ruins of a rectangular fortress — walled but interspersed with towers — are all that is left.[1] To its southeast, ruins of, what was probably a caravenserai, can be spotted.[2] To further south, lies the mausoleum of Ashyk Aydyn Pir; in local tradition, Pir spent a part of his life in the fortress.[1]
