Arapgir (Armenian: Արաբկիր; Kurdish: Erebgir[2]) is a municipality and district of Malatya Province, Turkey.[3] Its area is 987 km2,[4] and its population is 9,964 (2022).[1]
It is situated at the confluence of the eastern and western Euphrates, but some miles from the right bank of the combined streams. Arapgir is connected with Sivas by a chaussée, prolonged to the Euphrates river. The present town was built in the mid-19th century, but about 2 miles north-east is the old town, now called Eskişehir ("old city" in Turkish).[5]
