History
[edit]Tamars (today called Uçarlı) was historically inhabited by Assyrians.[8] They had originally adhered to the Church of the East but converted to the Chaldean Catholic Church and the Syriac Orthodox Church in the 19th century.[9] There was a Syriac Orthodox church of the Loaf.[10] The church of St. Abba Sallara at Tamars, which had originally belonged to the Church of the East, became Syriac Orthodox following the villagers' conversion.[11]
In 1915, the village was inhabited by 20 Assyrian families.[12] It served as the residence of the Kurdish chief Muhamma ‘Alo and his clan who belonged to the Haverkan confederation.[13] Amidst the Sayfo, upon hearing of the attack on the neighbouring village of Midun, the Assyrians of Tamars were escorted to safety at Beth Sbirino by Muhamma ‘Alo.[13] The village had a population of 147 in 1960.[5] There were 26 Turoyo-speaking Christians in five families at Tamars in 1966.[5] By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.[14]
