Kavallı (Kurdish: Nêrwan;[2] Syriac: Nahrawān)[3][a] is a village in the Silopi District of Şırnak Province in Turkey.[5] The village is populated by Kurds of the Tayan tribe and had a population of 1,670 in 2023.[1][2] It is located in the Khabur valley.[6]
History
Nahrawān (today called Kavallı) was historically inhabited by adherents of the Church of the East and Syriac Orthodox Christians.[7] In 1567, a manuscript was copied at the village by the scribe Hormizd, son of 'Abd Allah, of Karamlesh.[8] Nahrawān is identified with Narman, of which a bishop belonging to the Church of the East named Joseph is attested in 1607.[9] Adherents of the Church of the East in the village converted to the Chaldean Catholic Church in the second half of the 19th century.[10]
In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 10 households, who paid 42 households, and did not have a church or a priest.[11] The Chaldean Catholic priest Joseph Tfinkdji noted Nahrawān was populated by 120 Chaldean Catholics in 1913 as part of the Chaldean Catholic diocese of Gazarta who did not have a church or a priest.[12] It was located in the kaza of Jazirat Ibn ʿUmar.[13] In 1914, there were 200 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[13] Amidst the Sayfo, the village was attacked by the Bohtan Kurds.[14]
