History
[edit]Tel-Ya’qub (today called Tepealtı) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians.[5] It was populated by 300 Assyrians in 1914, as per the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[6] There were ten Assyrian families in 1915.[7] Amidst the Sayfo, the Assyrians took refuge at Mharkan, where they were then killed.[8] By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.[7]
