[[File:Map of Gaziantep Province.png|thumb|right|Location of Gaziantep Province in Turkey (Nizip district is within Gaziantep)]] Kıratlı is a [[village]] located in the [[Nizip]] district of [[Gaziantep Province]], [[Turkey]].
Overview
Kıratlı is one of the numerous rural settlements within the Nizip district, situated in the southeastern [[Anatolia]]n region of Turkey. As a village (Turkish: ''köy''), it is an administrative subdivision falling under the jurisdiction of the Nizip district and, by extension, Gaziantep Province.Geography
The village of Kıratlı is geographically situated within the plains and rolling hills characteristic of the Nizip district. Nizip itself is located in the eastern part of Gaziantep Province, known for its fertile agricultural lands and its proximity to the [[Euphrates River]], although Kıratlı's exact distance from the river would vary. The region experiences a semi-arid climate, making irrigation crucial for agriculture.Administration
Like other villages in Turkey, Kıratlı is headed by a ''muhtar'' (village headman), who is elected by the residents. The muhtar acts as the local administrator and represents the village's interests to the district and provincial authorities. The village falls under the administrative oversight of the Nizip District Governorship (''Nizip Kaymakamlığı'') and the Gaziantep Provincial Governorship (''Gaziantep Valiliği'').Demographics and Economy
The population of Kıratlı, like many rural Turkish villages, primarily relies on [[agriculture]] for its livelihood. The broader Nizip district is particularly known for the cultivation of [[pistachio]]s, [[olive]]s, and various cereals. Demographic figures for such small villages can fluctuate over time due to migration patterns, but the general economic activity remains rooted in agricultural production and related small-scale services.See also
