Muş, Provincial capital in Eastern Anatolia Region, Turkey
Located at 1400 meters elevation, Muş sits at the mouth of a gorge on Kurtik Mountain slopes within the Murat River valley.
The Armenian king Mushel I Mamikonian founded this settlement in the 6th century, before Ottoman forces took control of the area in 1515.
The population of 120,699 residents consists mainly of Kurdish inhabitants who maintain their traditions in this mountainous region.
The city connects to other major centers through Muş Airport, a railway station linking Elâzığ to Tatvan, and roads to Erzurum and Bitlis.
The surrounding region contains eight mountain ranges and multiple plains that occupy 27.2 percent of the total provincial territory.
