Abstract
<jats:p>The article is dedicated to the village of Abri in the Bulanik district of Mush. Based on Ottoman records and primary sources, the article examines various perspectives on the foundation of the village. Although late Ottoman-period statistics indicate that a significant Armenian population resided in the village, today, following its renaming as Esenlik, no Armenians inhabit the settlement. The author analyzes petitions of Armenian refugees addressed to Catholicos Mkrtich Khrimian (1892–1907). Among approximately eight thousand letters, ten were identified as having been written by former residents of Abri. The author quantifies the number of individuals from Abri who sought assistance from Khrimian and identifies the families that once inhabited the village. Furthermore, the study explores the causes of their displacement, the hardships they encountered, and the underlying factors that compelled their migration.</jats:p>
