[de] Ovacık (Tunceli)
Ovacık (auch Zerenik oder Pulur, von armenisch plur – „Hügel“) ist eine Stadt und Hauptort des gleichnamigen Landkreises (İlçe) in der ostanatolischen Provinz Tunceli. Die Stadt Ovacık liegt in einer Ebene nördlich des Munzur-Vadisi-Nationalparks und etwa 65 Straßenkilometer (Luftlinie: 40 km) nordwestlich der Provinzhauptstadt Tunceli. Aus dieser Lage resultiert auch der Name Ovacık, von türkisch Ova für Ebene, wobei Ovacık als Diminutiv für Kleine Ebene steht. Der traditionelle Name Pulur stammt aus dem armenischen Wort für Hügel ab.- [en] Ovacık, Tunceli
