Diyarbekir ( Russian: Диярбекир; Turkmen: Diýärbekir) was a medieval settlement located in the Daşoguz region of modern-day Turkmenistan. [1]
The ruins of a rectangular fortress — walled but interspersed with towers — are all that is left. [1] To its southeast, ruins of, what was probably a caravenserai, can be spotted. [2] To further south, lies the mausoleum of Ashyk Aydyn Pir; in local tradition, Pir spent a part of his life in the fortress. [1]
