About Sirnak

Sirnak is a Turkish province in southeastern Anatolia. It has a population of 353,197 (2000). Sirnak has some mountainous regions in the west and the south, but the majority of the province consists of plateaus, resulting from the many rivers that crosscross it. These include the Tigris, Hezil, Çaglayan and Kizilsu. The Kizilsu, Hezil and Khabur flow into the Tigris. The most important mountains are the Cudi (2089 m), the Gabar, the Namaz and the Altin. In some sources, Cudi is cited as the site where Noah's Ark finally reached dry land. Famous 16th century Kurdish poet and sufi, Malaye Jaziri, was born in this region.
