The city's name is said to be originating from a disease very common in dogs and goats in Turkish language (Qotur), and the warm water springs in this area helped to treat the disease and alleviate the symptoms [1]. And this brings the idea that people living in this area may not have been kurds originally, rather they were immigrating from other parts of Turkey.
At the 2006 census, its population was 3,962 in 652 households, when it was a village.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 4,663 people in 1,000 households, by which time the village had been elevated to the status of a city.[6][7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 5,147 people in 1,193 households.[2] It is adjacent to the Iran–Turkey border and is populated by Kurds of the Shakak tribe.[8][9]
