Mukriyan (Kurdish: موکریان) was a Kurdish principality from the late 14th century to the 19th century centered around Mahabad.[3] Mukriyan was a neighbor to the Emirate of Bradost.[4]
Before Mukris, the region was ruled by Hadhabanis. During the battle of Dimdim, Mukriyanis rallied around Kurds of Bradost.[5] It is said Mukris speak a very pure form of Kurdish.[6] Abbas I of Persia married a Mukri princess in 1610 AD.[7]
Geography and tribes[]
Mukriyan encompassed the area south of Lake Urmia, including the cities of Mahabad, Piranshahr, Oshnaviyeh, Sardasht and Bukan[8] with the city of Naqadeh historically being included in Mukriyan,[9] though today make up approximately 35% of the city.[10] The city of Saqqez is culturally very similar to Mukriyan though, politically, it acted more as its own city state.[11] A few tribes include , Gewirk, Mangur (tribe), Mukri, Amireh, Khelki, Sheikh Sherefi, Selekei, Ḥasan Khāli, Kārish, Silki, Sekir, Fekiyesi, Ables, Bārik, Soleimāni, Beyi, Omerbil, Merzink, Lētāu Māwet, and Shiwezāi.[12][13]
