Setan (Persian:ستن; also known asSūtanī andSyutany)[1] is a village inMinjavan-e Gharbi Rural District,Minjavan District,Khoda Afarin County,East Azerbaijan Province,Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 236, in 58 families.[2] This is a significant drop as compared to the population of the village in early 1960s, which was 340.[3] Still, the decline is moderate as previously more prosperous villages ofArasbaran region, such asAbbasabad, experienced on average fourfold reduction in their population and some nearby villages were abandoned. In the wake ofWhite Revolution (early 1960s) a clan ofMohammad Khanlu tribe, comprising 120 households used Setan andMasjedlu as their winter quarters.[4]
