Özet:
Adini Hitit metinlerinden, GBendigimiz TSuua memleketi, bugiinkii Elazigbolgesi ve qevresinde yer almaktadir. Bu bolgenin bir kismi 1975 yilindatamamlanmig olan Keban Baraj go1 sulari altinda kalmigtir; ancak arkeolojikkurtarma qaligmalari ile eski yerlegim yerleriyle ilgili onemli ipuqlari ortayaqikarilmigtir. Korucutepe, Norguntepe, TepecikJMakaraztepe muhtemelen ISuuamemleketine bag11 yerlegim yerleridir.TSuua memleketi, Hitit memleketine bag11 olarak yonetilmekte ve her ikimemleket arasindaki iligkiler TI. Tuthaliia doneminde baglamakta, bu memleket I.Suppiluliuma doneminde kesin olarak Hitit hakimiyetine girmekte; TV. Tuthaliiadoneminin sonuna kadar ise aqik olarak siikuna kavugmug oldu& goriilmektedir.ISuua memleketinin krallari olarak, Hitit metinlerinde Hurri kokenli iki adarastlamaktayiz: Ariiarruma ve Ehliiarruma. Bu krallarla akrabalik baglari oldu&dugunulen Kiluihepa ve Lupakki adlarini da ofjrenmekteyiz; ayrica Komcutepe'deAriiarruma, Ehliiarruma ve Kiluihepa'ya ait muhur baskilari; yine Ehliiarruma'yaait birbagka muhur baskisi da Bogazkoy-Nigantepe'de ele geqirilmigtir. Hititmetinlerinde ISuua memleketinin tanimlanamayan krallari da mevcuttur.Hitit metinlerinden, ISuua memleketi tannlanni, krallarinin kultte onemliiglevlere sahip olduklarini ve Sullama ve Hatra gehirlerinin onemli kiilt merkezleriolabileceklerini ogrenmekteyiz.Hitit kraliqesi Puduhepa'nin emri uzerine kopyalanan (h)is'uuaS bayramininyerel bir kiilt bayrami oldu@na dair hiqbir emare yoktur; metin incelendigindeKizzuuatna qikiqli oldu@ anlaqilmaktadir.TSuua memleketinin, Hatti memleketinin qokuqunden once tekrar bagimsizoldu@na dair bir belge yoktur. Sadece I. Tiglatpileser, TIT. Salmanassar ve Urartubelgeleri bu bolge hakkinda bilgi verrnektedir.

Abstract:
TSuua, whose name we learn from the Hittite texts was living in the region wecall Elazig. Although some part of this region has been under water because ofKeban Dam constructed in 1975, due to the archaeological rescue excavations, someimported clues concerning the region was found. The places named todayKomcutepe, Norguntepe, TepecikIMakaraztepe were probably a part of the TSuua'scountry.TSuua's country was administrately a part of the Hittite State. The relation ofthese two state was firstly started during the reign of TI. Tuthaliia , and the statebecame a vassal state of the Hittite state during the reign of the I. ~uppiluliumaa ndduring the rule of the TV. Tuthaliia, the state experienced an explicit peace.As for the kings of this state, we encounter some names from various sources.From Hittite' texts we come across two names originated Hurrian: Ariiarruma andEhliiarruma. These two kings were also thought as the relatives of Kiluihepa andLupakki, whose names we learn from again this sources. Alongside to these, someseal prints belonging to Ehliiarruma, Ariiarruma and Kiluihepa were found inKomcutepe. Again another seal print belonging to Ehliiarruma was found inBogazkoy-Nigantepe. Some other kings of the ISuua's state were also mentioned inthe Hittite's texts but they could not been identified.The cults were also revealed in the Hittite text and the cities of Sullama andHatra were the important cult places according to these source. In this texts, weunderstand that the kings and the gods of the TSuua's were cults itself.There is no indication about the (h)is'uuaS festival as being a local cult thatcopied on the order of the Hittite queen Puduhepa, and after examining the text it isunderstood that it is something originated from Kizzuuatna.There is no evidence about the TSuua's state's emancipation from the HittiteState. Yet, only some sources of Urartian, I. Tiglathpileser and TIT. Shalmanesergives some, information about the region.
