Çiğdem (Kurdish: Giremara, lit. 'snake hill'; Syriac: Girēmarā)[2][a] is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Nusaybin, Mardin Province in Turkey.[4] The village is populated by Kurds of the Mizizex tribe and had a population of 164 in 2021.[1][5]
History
Girēmarā (today called Çiğdem) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[6] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had twenty-five households, who paid eighty-seven dues, and it did not have a church or a priest.[7] In 1914, there were 250 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[8] It was populated by 26 Turoyo-speaking Christians in five families in 1966.[2]
