Kayadere (Kurdish: Befewe; Syriac: Beth-Awe)[nb 1] is a village in the municipality and district of Ömerli, Mardin Province in Turkey.[3] The village is populated by Kurds of the Surgucu tribe and had a population of 305 in 2021.[1][4] It is located in the historic region of Tur Abdin.[5]
History
[edit]Beth-Awe (today called Kayadere) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians.[6] It was part of the Syriac Orthodox diocese of the Monastery of Mar Abai until the death of its final metropolitan bishop Ishaq Saliba in 1730, at which time it was subsumed into the diocese of Mardin.[7] The village was besieged for five days by Kurds in November 1895 during the Hamidian massacres.[8]
In 1914, Beth-Awe was inhabited by 500 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[9] There were 300 Syriac Orthodox Christians with three priests, 50 Syriac Catholics with one priest and one church, and 150 Protestants.[10] It was located in the kaza (district) of Savur.[11] The village was one of the first to be affected by the Sayfo as it was attacked on 4 or 10 June 1915 by men led by Hussein Bakro and its population was slaughtered whilst the Syriac Orthodox priest was burned alive.[12] Some men were able to flee to Benebil and then to the Mor Hananyo Monastery.[13] The village was subsequently seized by Kurds.[14]
