Etymology
The town was later renamed Tuzluca, Tuz meaning salt in Turkish. The Turkish name is derived from the salt mines that have existed here since at least medieval times; a salt mine still operates.
Tuzluca today
Today, Tuzluca serves as a highland retreat for asthma patients. Apricots and other fruit and vegetables are grown in the district.
