The plain of Muş was historically part of the Armenian province of Daron-Duruperan.[2] and the mountains on its southern border formed the boundary between Greater Armenia and Syria, Muş and Sason were the scene of clashes between Armenians and Kurds in the late 19th century. Among the historical sites of the Mush province are two of the holiest Armenian sites: the Saint Karapet Monastery, which was founded in the 4th century by Saint Gregory the Illuminator and kept the relices of Saint John the Baptist. It was destroyed to its foundations by the Turkish army after the Armenian Genocide. the Holy Apostles Monastery, a medieval monastery housing the relics of two of the Apostles near the town of Mush (also destroyed after 1915)
