History

Bāzbūt (today called Atbağı) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[6] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 8 households, who paid 3 dues, and did not have a church or a priest.[3] There were 6 Armenian hearths in 1880.[7] It was located in the district of Beşiri.[8] The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[9]
