Boyunlu (Kurdish: Boşat; Syriac: Bōshat)[1][a] is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Silvan, Diyarbakır Province in Turkey.[3] It is populated by Kurds and had a population of 1,187 in 2022.[4][5]
History
Bōshat (today called Boyunlu) was historically inhabited by Chaldean Catholics and Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[6] A Parthian-style rock relief of a horseman at the village has been dated to the end of the second century or beginning of the third century AD.[7] The castle at Bōshat is first mentioned in the tenth century, but was likely built before then.[8] A ziyarat in the village is said to have been built in the 13th century.[9]
There were twenty Armenian hearths in 1880.[10] The Chaldean Catholic community in the village is first attested in 1896 by Jean-Baptiste Chabot.[11] By June 1913, there were 500 recently converted Chaldean Catholics at Bōshat who were served by one priest without a church as part of the archdiocese of Amida.[12] The Armenians were killed by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[13]
