Zaro Aga (Turkish: Zaro Ağa; Kurdish: زارۆ ئاغا, romanized: Zaro Axa) was a Kurdish man who claimed to be one of the longest-living persons ever. He claimed birth on 16 February 1764 in Mutki, and died on 29 June 1934[1] in Istanbul, Turkey. He was allegedly aged 170 when he died, and thus claimed to be one of the longest-living persons ever.
