Özet:

It is one of the border regions of Eastern Anatolia, where it is located on an important transit route between Asia and Europe, and has the influences of different cultures. One of the areas where these effects are best observed is traditional crafts. The local masses, which are the raw material of wheat and have a very rich diversity, have an original place in traditional crafts. With the motivation and composition characteristics and the effects of Kars, Kafkas, Van, Bitlis and Western Iran, these effects are not directly, but by changing the shape, they have become local-specific motivations and compositions, they have gained characteristic characteristics. With the change of the way of life, the re-touching of the masses that are no longer touched and removed from the memory of the local people on a daily basis, the marketing as a tourist item, on the one hand, will activate the women’s labor force and make income to the local people, on the other hand, our cultural heritage will be transferred to future generations by preserving it.
