Chahriq-e Olya (Persian: چهريق عليا)[a] is a village in, and the capital of, Chahriq Rural District[4] in Kuhsar District of Salmas County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran.
History
In the early Qajar era, some of the Kurdish Shakak tribe settled in Chahriq after being forced out of Urmia by the Afshar Turks.[5] The Ottoman Empire, which bordered the village,[6] had claimed it numerous times using the Sunni Kurdish tribes as their support base.[7] During the Russo-Iranian War of 1826–1828, Chahriq was briefly captured by the Russians in 1828. The population of the village at the time was made up of Assyrians, Armenians, and Sunni Kurds.[7] In 1844, Mohammad Shah Qajar (r. 1834–1848) received an offer of marriage from the Shakak chieftain Yahya Khan for his sister. Mohammad Shah responded by giving Yahya Khan the governorship of Khoy, Salmas, and Urmia, the latter of which included all of the frontier of northwestern Iran, including Chahriq. Yahya Khan continued to be Chahriq's only landowner even after his retirement. In May 1848, while he was still governor, the founder of Bábism, Báb, was put in a jail in Chahriq.[8]
