By the beginning of the 20th century, 17.000 Armenians lived in the city. Its last mayor was writer Ter-Hakobyan. In 1915, Partizak was ravaged and its population slaughtered or exiled by the Turks.
In 1918, 3.500 Armenians returned to Partizak and began to restore it. However, the Greek-Turkish War put an end to this. A part of the surviving Armenians of Partizak found shelter in Soviet Armenia. Some also settled in Aleppo.
Nowadays, the city bears the Turkish name Bahçelik.
