History

Ḥelḥel (today called Çitlibahçe) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Armenians.[8] One deacon was consecrated for the Syriac Orthodox Church of Morī Māmā at Ḥelḥel on the Sunday after the Feast of the Ascension in AD 1590 (AG 1901).[9] An Order of Ordinations was compiled at the Church of Morī Māmā by Basilius ‘Abd al-Ahad, bishop of Zarjal, in 1705.[10] The village belonged to the Syriac Orthodox diocese of Hattack.[11] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had sixteen households, who paid twenty-eight dues, and did not have a priest.[1] There were eight Armenian hearths in 1880.[12] There was an Armenian church of Surb Gevorg.[12] In 1914, there were 200 Syriacs at Ḥelḥel, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[13] It was located in the kaza of Lice.[13]
