Hargan

Hargan belongs to the mountain country of Hadjin, north of Sis in Armenian Cilicia. An Armenian bishopric bore the name Hargan, while Hadjin grew as a mountain town during the Armenian period. The surrounding valleys and forested ridges separate this upland country from the Cilician plain. Religious institutions connected its communities with the Armenian church centred at Sis, even as the mountain settlements retained their own local identities.
