is a village in Targavar Rural District of Silvaneh District in Urmia County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran.
==History== In 1877, Bālūlan (today called Balowlan) was inhabited by 30 Church of the East families and had one church. The Christians of Bālūlan helped Assyrian and Armenian refugees who had fled the Hamidian massacres. It was reported in 1910 that the village had been seized by Kurds and the village's Christian population had taken refuge at Urmia. In 1914, there were 200 Assyrian households at Bālūlan. On 1 October 1914, Turco-Kurdish troops set fire to the village amidst the Sayfo and the inhabitants fled to Urmia.
