Eleşkirt or Kurdish Zêdikan, is a town and district of Ağrı Province in Turkey. Its name was transferred from Alashkert ((アルメニア語:Ալաշկերտ) ''Alaškert''), the valley's former administrative centre, now the village of Toprakkale. Until the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 the town was heavily populated by Turks, Azeris, Kurds and, to some extent, Armenians. The mayor is Sebahattin Sarı (AKP). ==Places to see== Eleşkirt is a small town on a plain surrounded by high mountains, that has been occupied since the kingdom of the Urartu, as can be seen from: *A burial mound (höyük) in the village of Pirabat *The castle in the village of Toprakkale (ku:Kelê).
