History

Blīdar (today called Binatlı) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[7] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 3 households, who paid 15 dues, and did not have a church or a priest.[3] There were 50 Armenian hearths in 1880.[8] There was an Armenian church.[8] It is tentatively identified with the village of Blior, which was populated by 100 Syriacs in 1914, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[9] It was located in the kaza of Beşiri.[9] The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[10]
