The Nochiya Region, which is different from Nochiya (a sub-district located in the Nochiya Region), is the area which consists of five districts and many sub-districts. The Nochiya Region lies in three different countries: western Iran, northeastern Iraq and southeast Turkey. The districts that make up parts of the Nochiya Region are Shamizdin, north eastern half of the Shaqlawa District, Soran District, Mergasur District and the western part of Urmia District.
Nochiya itself was actually the central sub-district; to the north of it in Turkey were the Khumara and Dairaneh Clans. To the east, in Persia were the Targawar, Bagzadeh and Margawar sub-districts. To the south, in what is now mostly Iraq, were the Gargan, Bradost, Sherwan and Rawandiz Districts. The sub-district of Nochiya is a historical area that lies in the heart of Shamizdin (modern day Şemdinli).

Famous quotes containing the word region:
“He was a superior man. He did not value his bodily life in comparison with ideal things. He did not recognize unjust human laws, but resisted them as he was bid. For once we are lifted out of the trivialness and dust of politics into the region of truth and manhood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
