Diyarbakır (Ottoman Turkish: Diyâr-i Bekr دیاربکر 'land of the Bekr' as derived from Persian; Kurdish Amed; Syriac ܐܡܝܕ Āmîḏ; Greek Ἄμιδα Amida; Armenian Ամիդ Amid) is a major city in the Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey. The city is situated on the banks of the River Tigris, and is the seat of Diyarbakır Province. Within Turkey, Diyarbakır is famed for its culture, folklore and its watermelons. Diyarbakır has a large Kurdish population, prompting some sources to describe it as the "unofficial capital" for the country's Kurdish citizens,of the country's Kurdish-speaking region,and of Turkish Kurdistan and the greater Kurdistan region.This term has no administrative basis and is open to controversy. According to a November 2006 survey by the Sur Municipality, one of Diyarbakır's metropolitan municipalities, 72 % of the inhabitants of the municipality use Kurdish the most in their daily speech, followed by Turkish, and 69 % are illiterate in their most widely used vernacular.
