We are currently unable to recognize specific local designs in east Anatolian carpets . Until the Armenian Genocide in 1915 , East Anatolia had a large Armenian population , and sometimes carpets are identified as of Armenian production by their inscriptions .

Research in the 1980s has come to the conclusion that the tradition of weaving has almost vanished , and more specific information may be lost
