Qaṭma (Kurdish Qitmê; Arabic: قطمة) is a village in northwestern Syria, within Afrin District (Aleppo Governorate). It is also within Afrin Canton, "de facto" autonomous since January 2014. It lies northeast of Afrin and west of Azaz. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, Qaṭma had a population of 1,215 in the 2004 census.[1] On March 7, 2018, the town came under the control of the Syrian National Army.[citation needed]
In late 19th century, German orientalist Martin Hartmann noted Qatma as a settlement with 25 houses inhabited by Kurds, who also spoke Arabic.[2]
