Mujan (tribe)

The Mujan (Turkish: Mucan, Mocan, Mucanoğulları) (Ottoman Turkish: قارامانلو نامى دیگر موجان)[1] is a Yoruk Turkoman tribe mainly residing in Afyonkarahisar and Denizli provinces in Turkey.[1][2]

The Mujan tribe traces its origins to the Qaramanlu clan[1][3] of the Afshar or Salur branch of the Oghuz Turks. In 1706, the Mujan tribesmen rebelled against the Ottoman government to secure the right to a nomadic lifestyle and to protest against heavy taxes.[4]
