Bohtan
Boktan (also ''Buhtan'', ''Bohtan'', ''Bokhan'', ''Bokhti''), also known as Cizre Botan (''Jazira Botan'') , was a medieval Kurdish principality in the Ottoman Empire centered on the town of Jazirah ibn 'Omar (modern Cizre) in southeastern Anatolia. Bohtanis were an ancient and prominent branch of the Kurds that claimed descent from Khalid ibn al-Walid. Yazidism became the official religion of Jazira in the 14th century.〔Nelida Fuccaro, ''The other Kurds: Yazidis in colonial Iraq'', 256 pp., Palgrave Macmillan, 1999. (see p.10)〕
==History==
The Bokhtis are mentioned by Herodotus as inhabiting eastern Anatolia and forming thirteenth Achaemenid district (together with Armenia). Furthermore, Vladimir Minorsky connects Bukhtis with Haftanbokht, a Parthian ruler of Kermanshah region.
In the early 8th century Bukhtis and Bajnawi Kurds ruled the area surrounding Sinjar and Jazira mountains known under name ''Zozan'' by Arab geographers. Yaqoot Hamawi describes their residing area to be from Ikhlat to Salmas which included many strongholds belonging to Bokhtis; he also mentioned town of Jardhakil as their capital.
The emirate lost its independence and was directly governed by the Ottomans in 1847 following the massacres of Badr Khan.
