## History

The "Village of Bahik" is a protocol signed in [Constantinople](/source/Constantinople) in 1913 which drew most of the modern Turkey-Iran border. The agreement which was signed in the presence of [Iranian](/source/Qajar_Iran), [Ottoman](/source/Ottoman_Empire), [Russian](/source/Russian_Empire), and [British](/source/British_Empire) delegates stipulated that the village of Bahik, in addition to a number of others, remain as a part of Persia, modern day Iran.[5]

After the 2006 National Census, Bahik was merged with the village of [Zula](/source/Zula%2C_Iran) to form the new village of [Zula Bahik](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zula_Bahik&action=edit&redlink=1).[4]
