Büyük Oluklu (also: Büyükoluklu or Oluklu) is a village in the Selim District of Kars Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 1,220 (2022).[2] It is situated in high plains. The distance to Selim is 25 kilometres (16 mi) and to Kars is 45 kilometres (28 mi). Up to 2011 Oluklu was a village in Kağızman district. But it was closer to Selim and hence in April 2011, the province council decided to change the administrative status of Oluklu which disappointed Kağızman residents.[3] The village was named Büyük Oluklu as there is another Oluklu in Selim District.
