Özet
ÖzetBehesni, günümüzde yalnızca harabeleri kalmış olan eski bir şehirdir. Fiziksel olarak ne zaman kurulduğu kesin olarak bilinmemekle birlikte, antik dönemlerden itibaren mevcut olduğu yönünde çeşitli görüşler bulunmaktadır. Ancak İslâm coğrafyası ile Bizans arasındaki sınır şehirlerinden biri olan Behesni’nin tarihsel olarak çok da güçlü bir role sahip olmadığını, buna bağlı olarak da kaynaklarda fazla yer bulamadığını not etmek gerekir. Bununla birlikte, şehir güvenliği ile ilgili çeşitli nedenlerinden dolayı 1950’li yılların sonunda yeri değişen ve eski yerinden çok da uzak olmayıp oradan daha güvenli bir yere taşınan Behesni’de tarih boyunca birçok topluluk yaşamış, birçok siyasî yapılanma hâkimiyet kurmuştur. İslâmiyetten önceki dönemi hakkında son derece kısıtlı veriler bulunan şehrin İslâmî dönemi, genel olarak Türk hâkimiyeti dönemidir. Bazı dönemlerde Ermeni ya da Haçlı kontrolü olsa da, şehrin ortaçağa özgü siyasî karakterinin Türk varlığı bütünleştiğini belirtmekte bir sakınca yoktur. Nitekim bugün mevcut olan harabelerin de gerek Memlûk gerek Osmanlı izlerini taşımakla bu tarihî varlığa şahitlik ettiği söylenebilir.
