Gulpashan

Golpashan was an Assyrian Christian town located on the western shore of Lake Urmia.

The site is now occupied by the village of Gol Pashin.

It is not known exactly when Assyrians first settled in Golpashan but they did found the village.

They have continuously inhabited the land since pre-recorded history.

This village played a dramatic part in the Assyrian genocide during and after World War I.
