Within a few years most of the region will be irreversibly submerged, due to the construction of the Ilisu dam, the biggest hydroelectric power plant project in Turkey. It is of paramount importance to understand and record as much data as possible about the local communities and the foreign connections that flowered in this area UR - https://doi.org/10.31826/9781463233907 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781463233907 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781463233907/original ER -
