History of Iğdır-Aralık

Since it is the route used for migration from Central Asia to Anatolia, the route that we know to be the preferred route during the Tribal Migration passes through the district of Aralık in our province of Iğdır. The region, which has a history dating back to the 6th millennium BC in the literature, has made a transition to contemporary settled life with the Neolithic period. Following this, the tribe showing the first signs of settled life are the Hurrians. The ruins of the Hurrians have truly been a guide for both historians and archaeologists to shed light on the hidden sides of the period. All of these tribes, which will later be referred to as Asians in general, spread to Eastern Anatolia and created living spaces for themselves. There is also information that these tribes invented writing while living in the borders of Lake Van before immigrating to Egypt. These communities, which will be referred to as Sabars or Sabirler in the following periods, came to the forefront with their characteristics of being a developed community that lived far ahead of the period, and left their remarkable ruins to the present day.

History is a fact that it just waits for research there, with its secrets that will enlighten our present. Even the information we can reach with today's current technology provides us with the necessary knowledge and experience for us to move forward. In 1943, the district of Aralık was first informed to local people and then to professional hands with their help that it would guide the history of humanity with a few mounds found in the region. Most of the finds obtained thanks to the work started in the region have been taken under protection by being registered as a site area. With its baths, necropoleis and historical houses that have been preserved in their original form, December offers valuable resources for archaeologists. All we have to do is plan a trip to Iğdır Aralık and see the beauties here.

Due to its proximity to Russia and its occupation even for a short time, we also see the ruins of Russian architecture. In this context, we invite everyone who wants to interact with not only Ottoman-Byzantine historical buildings, but also different cultures, to make a trip plan for Iğdır Aralık

Again, one of the valuable remains is the Hacı İbrahim Gökdekli Vault, where we will get all the information from the inscription above the entrance door. It was built in 1907 for Hacı İbrahim Gökdek, who is counted by the people of the district and is famous for his contributions to the district. The square planned cupola, in which black cut basalt stone was used in its construction, is about 2 meters tall. It has a total of 2 small windows, one on the south and north facades. There are 3 graves inside, but since no tombstones have been found, it is not yet known to whom the graves belong. Robust workmanship and quality materials have proven themselves again, despite the fact that no maintenance has been carried out and the harsh conditions of the climate, the structure has been preserved intact until today, there is no deterioration.
