Yalanqoz is a village in Çiyayê Kurmênc following the Cindirês subdistrict, Efrîn region, Heleb governorate. It is a large village located at the bottom of the southeastern slope of Çiyayê Kurmênc and on the Cindirês plain to the north. Its soil is fertile alluvium. It was formerly 1km away from the town of Cindirês, but currently, it is 100m away.
It is bordered to the north by a fertile agricultural plain planted with olive trees and the villages of Kefer Sefrê and Koran. It is bordered to the south, at a distance of 100m, by the town of Cindirês. To the west, there is a fertile agricultural plain planted with olive trees and the villages of Baflûr and Aşkan Xerbî. To the east, there is a fertile plain planted with olive trees and the villages of Zindikan, Burc Qemûş, and Qîlê.
It is a village surrounded by olive trees from all directions and has become one of the neighborhoods of Cindirês. The number of its houses is approximately 100 houses, and its age is approximately 400 years according to the statements of one of the long lived residents of the village. Its old houses are of stone and mud with flat wooden roofs, while the modern ones are concrete and have expanded to the north, south, and east.
A electricity network, a primary school, a mosque, a telephone center, and several modern olive presses are available in the village. The village drinks from a well connected to a water network from a well dug in Kefer Sefrê. The residents work in agriculture (olives and grains) via rainfed methods, and via irrigation from artesian wells for summer vegetables and fruit trees (pomegranate, walnut).
It is connected to the subdistrict center by an asphalt road that passes through its center to several neighboring villages on the northern side of the village. Among its most important families is the family of Hanan Reşîd Xalid Agha, who were the first to inhabit the village 400 years ago, evidenced by the presence of three old villas in the center of the village; the age of these villas is more than one hundred years.
