Geography and tribes
Mukriyan encompassed the area south of Lake Urmia, including the cities of Mahabad, Piranshahr, Oshnaviyeh, Sardasht and Bukan[7] with the city of Naqadeh historically being included in Mukriyan,[8] though today Kurds only make up approximately 35% of the city.[9] The city of Saqqez is culturally very similar to Mukriyan, though politically it acted more as its own city-state.[10] A few tribes include Dehbruki, 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.[11][12]
History
Before Mukris, the region was ruled by Hadhabanis, the region is also in the same, or similar, location as Mannea and Takht-e Soleymān. During the battle of Dimdim, Mukriyanis rallied around Kurds of Bradost.[13] Abbas I of Persia married a Mukri noblewomen in 1610 AD.[14][15]
