Danişmaz, Harun; Konyar, Erkan
The Diauehi region, located in the northwest border of Urartian Kingdom, is called the Upper Aras basin nowadays. The Urartian remains in the Upper Aras basin have been found in the Hasankale/Pasinler, Marifet and Yoǧunhasan fortresses. Apart from these settlements, to the east of the basin are the Hamamli and Hasankale inscriptions, to the south are the Avnik, Delibaba and Yazilitaş inscriptions, and the Süngütaş inscription is located on the route to the north. From its early years onwards, the Urartian Kingdom tried to transform the Diauehi region through military campaigns and administrative arrangements. However, this transformation appears to have been different from the center of the kingdom, the Lake Van Basin, where the majority of the royal cities we are located. Instead of building new cities in the region, the kingdom's strategy was focused on conducting military campaigns to weaken the existing tribes and allying with the powerful ones. During the military campaigns dating to the early years of the kingdom, the tribe leaders who were also named as kings paid a tribute and accepted the authority of Urartians.
