Considering the art
and culture of Van and Hakkâri, we can say that
birds also appear to have a great place in them. As historical monuments,
Akdamar Church and Yedikilise Monastery attract attention from this aspect.
Besides giving a place to the figures of the birds found in the region, we see
bird species such as "peacock" which is not encountered in the
region. Stylized bird figures are also frequently found in weaving and knitting
works. It is common for people to be compared to birds in different aspects. In
this sense; the birds such as eagles, crane, nightingale, hoopoe, rock dove,
stork, rock partridge, shelduck, crow and sparrow come to the fore. In the
researches conducted, a detailed study related to the effect of birds in
Van-Hakkâri region culture and art was not found. In this study it is aimed to
fill the gap in this area and contribute to culture, art and tourism of the
region.
