Siverek
Siverek is a town and district in the south-east of Turkey, in Şanlıurfa Province. Population 107,634 (town); 247,000 (district) (2000 census).
Siverek is in Şanlıurfa province but closer geographically to the large city of Diyarbakır (approx 83 km). In the Ottoman Empire period Siverek was within Diyarbekir Vilayet, and the people of Siverek are said to be reluctant to accept being part of Şanlıurfa even today.
In the countryside the people are mostly ethnic Kurd. There is also a Turkmen community in the village of Karacadağ and a small number of Arabs. The people are poor and live by working in the fields here and as share-croppers in the villages of neighbouring Diyarbakır.
The town produces ayran.
