Bismil (Kurdish: Bismil)[2] is a district of Diyarbakır Province of Turkey. The population is 117,674 (as of 2018[3]) and most of the people are Kurds.

Location

In order to settle the influx of migrants from Konya in 1936, a new district of Diyarbakir was established. It is a South-Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey and is located to the east of the Diyarbakir province. The area of this district is 1748 km2. Geographically it is situated 550 meters above the sea level. The town features numerous parks. On the Körtik hill exists an archeological site.[4]

Politics

In the elections on the 31 March 2019 Orhan Ayaz from the Peoples' Democratic Party was elected as Mayor.[5] But in October he got dismissed due to an investigation.[6] A trustee was appointed instead.[7]
