or Bajazid, a city of Turkish Armenia, in the pashalic of Erzeroum, situated on a mountain, the summit of which is strongly fortified. It is surrounded by a wall and ramparts; and contains two churches, three mosques, and a monastery, that of Karu Killeseca, which is famous for the beauty of its architecture, as well as for its antiquity and grandeur. This city, which, when visited by Kinneir, had about 30,000 inhabitants, is now in a ruined and filthy condition. According to the accounts given by Messrs Smith and Dwight, the American missionaries who visited it in 1832, the population must be considerably under 5000. Great numbers of the Armenian inhabitants have emigrated to the Russian territories. It is 50 miles S.S.W. of Erivan, and 140 east of Erzeroum. Long. 43° 26', E. Lat. 39° 24', N.
