History of a hamlet you can't even find on the map
Delevgur, 60 kms away from Diyarbakýr and 30 kms away from Çýnar, is a hamlet that was left to its fate with 37 residences … It is not found even on the map.
The hamlet has neither a sanitarium nor school. Struggling with problems like infrastructure and transportation, the residents in the hamlet have never been provided by the state or local government.
The hamlet is in fact as big as a village. Delevgur residents want to have a village of their own but they don’t even have a village headman.
The wrong agricultural and stockbreeding policies applied have made the end of peasants. Almost all young people in the hamlet moved into cities for work.
A abitant named Tacettin Asar spoketo ANF about the education problem. He told that the students go to an outlying school Koriya Þeyha (Baykonak) which is 10 kms away from the hamlet. They don’t have any chance for primary education there. He says that there are total 78 students who have big problems about the school and education due to the lack of possibilities.
They didn’t become any reply to their applications for a school building. Now, for the last time, they want to be given a chance.
The roads of the village are rough; which makes the transportation much difficult and long. Mehmet Açýlan from Delevgur explains the circumstances, saying; “We have no roads, no schools or clinics while the state claims that all villages will have good roads and will be required water. We don’t have a village headmen, either. We can’t use the bedraggled roads in winter.”
The source of living in the village is agriculture and stock breeding. Peasant Faik Asar speaks; “The stockbreeding is about to finish. We will either go on with stock breeding and be ruined or give up with it, moving with the mentality; ‘it is never too late to mend.’
Peasant Abdulkadir Asar expresses that the young people of the village move into cities due to the unemployment and points out that “no one will be living in the village as times go.”
