Elazığ's past/present 1893-2024
Categories: Turkey - provinces
Since it was impossible to distinguish between Turks and Kurds for 1890-1900, we showed them collectively as 'Muslim'. I think we can assume that the entire Muslim population, except for a small minority in the cities, was Kurdish-speaking at the beginning of the 20th century. On the other hand, we would not be wrong if we say that most of the native Turkish speakers at that time were Armenian in terms of religion.
