Hayhurum (Armenian:Հայհրում;Greek:Χαϊχούρουμ,romanized: Chaïchoúroum) is the name given toArmenian-speaking Christians who are members of theGreek Orthodox Church.
Their exact ethnicity has been a source of debate. Some (although not all) of these Armenian speakers living in the vicinity of the town ofAkn till the 16th century were ofEastern Orthodox faith (instead ofArmenian Apostolic Church as is the case for most Armenians). There were also a number of people of Greek Orthodox faith amongHamshenis, who are considered to have been converted to Greek Orthodoxy during the late Middle Ages under the rule of theEmpire of Trebizond.
In theregion of Akn by the 20th century Hayhurums were essentially concentrated in 5 villages: Vag, Zorak,Musaga,Sirzu, Hogus. In theregion of Dersim near Çemişgezek they were found in the village of Memsa, near Pertak in the village of Hromkéğ, In the region of Ilic the village of Atma was named as a Hayhorom village in 1582 but was a Kurdish village by the 20th century. In the region of Kharberd the village of Haydi and near Erzincan in the village of Dzatkéğ.[1]
