A mountain valley, about 16 by 10 miles enclosed on the west by the
great range dividing Persia and Turkey, on the east and north by the
plateau and hills of Babajik district. The valley is peopled by Turks and
Haidaranlu Kurds. The latter are settled in winter about the villages
near Kara Aineh, and in summer they migrate to the western mountains
where they share the grazing with the Jalalls of Maku. The differences
between these two tribes keep the valley in a constant ferment and pre
vent the development of its fine lands by the Turk peasant. Supplies
are consequently generally scarce. The safetv of the road is entrusted to
Agha Khan of Zavleh and Mahmud Taghar Khan of Kara Aineh who are
supposed to maintain sixty horsemen for the purpose. As a rule large
caravans seldom suffer, but small parties are liable to attack and robbery
by the Kurds. The road is in fair weather passable for carts, and all
that is desirable for ordinary caravans.— {Picot, 1894.)
