History
Kīrḫah (today called Bıçakçı) 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 6 households, who paid 15 dues, and it did not have a church or a priest.[2] It was located in the kaza of Beşiri.[7] The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[8]
