The items produced by these trades are mainly furniture for houses, horse saddles, wooden pails and tables. This trade is carried on in Palu town by Armenians. [11] The Armenian carpenters of Baghin village are known for the product known as kulag (or kugha). This is a vessel, made from sawn, thin pieces of wood assembled into a cylinder, like a bucket. Kulags are used as water containers, and may contain milk, yogurt, torakh (a form of cottage cheese made from yogurt) or oil. This and other products are loaded on to the backs of mules and sold throughout Palu’s Armenian and Kurdish villages, as far afield as Diyarbekir and Harput. [12]
