HAIDARANLU—
This clan forms part of the well known Kurdish family of Haidaranlh,
the greater part of whom are Turkish subjects and occupy the country
west of Azarbaijan. The Persian Haidaranlu became detached from the
main branch about 50 years ago (1850), and settled in the country near
Kara Aineh, a village which gives its name to a part of the valley of
Qaldaran. They number about 500 families under the chieftainship of
Taghar Khan the son of the leader, who headed the migration from Turkey.
Kara Aineh is the head-quarters of the tribe. This and several smaller
villages in the neighbourhood shelter the various sections in winter. In
summer they migrate to the mountains, which, on the west, form the
boundary line between Persia and Turkey. The tribe was of greater im
portance a few years ago (1890), but the hostility of the chief of Maku drove
many of the families into Turkish territory. They are at constant enmity
with the Jalalis and their feuds keep the frontier in a constant state of
uproar.— (Picot, IS94.)
The tribe is a branch of the Hasananlu (q.v.), and probably the most power
ful tribe of the Azarbaijan frontier. Its headquarters are in Turkish terri
tory and the Turks, to whom it is subject by treaty, profess to accept
responsibility for its raids. The tribe is noted for its savagery and its
raids. It furnished several regiments to the Hamldieh force.—(#oane, 1910.)
