History

[edit]

Grebya (today called Söğütlü) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians.[6] In 1914, it was populated by 300 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[7] There were ten Assyrian families in 1915.[8] Amidst the Sayfo, the Assyrians were escorted to safety at Hebob by Agha Hassan of Grebya.[2] The village had around thirty Turoyo-speaking Christian families in 1968.[9] Kurdish was also spoken by some in the village.[9] By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.[8]
