Özyurt is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Şenkaya, Erzurum Province in Turkey.[1][2] Its population is 320 (2022).[3]

Özyurt's former name was Bariki. Bariki (Georgian: ბარიკი) is a Georgian place name and is related to the word ‘bari’ (ბარი). Indeed, Georgian Turkologist Sergi Jikia notes that some Georgian words used to end with the suffix ‘-ki’ (-კი).[4] Bari (ბარი) means valley in the Georgian language.[5] Bariki is written as "Barik" (بریك) in the Ottoman land-survey register (mufassal defter) of 1595.[6]
