Gaziler is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Şenkaya, Erzurum Province in Turkey.[1][2] Its population is 299 (2022).[3]

Etymology[edit]

Gaziler was known as Bardus or Barduz (Russian: Бардус or Бардуз) within the Russian Empire as part of the Olti Okrug of the Kars Oblast.[4]

History[edit]

During the First Republic of Armenia's administration of the Kars Oblast in 1919, Turkish and Azerbaijani agents engaged in arms deliveries and sedition through the environs of Gaziler.[5] The village later became the site of battles between the Armenian army and local Kurdish militia supplemented by the Turkish army in June 1920,[6] finally passing to Turkish republican control by late 1920, as confirmed by the Treaty of Kars.[7]

Demographics[edit]

In 1886, Barduz had 404 inhabitants including 392 Greeks and 12 Ossetians.[8] In 1897, the village had 540 inhabitants including 280 men and 260 women, 519 of whom were Eastern Orthodox.[4] In 1914, there were 728 inhabitants in Barduz, predominantly Greeks.[9]
