Abstract

The inscription of the mosque, located within the historical cemetery site
registered by the Van Regional Council for the Protection of Cultural Heritage on 24
September 2008, was first published in 2006 by Kadir Pektaş. In this study, while the
architectural features of the building were emphasized and the inscription was
transcribed, the reading contains several inaccuracies.
