History
Bāṣūrak (today called Kayabağı) 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 three households, who paid twelve dues, and did not have a church or a priest.[2] There were forty Armenian hearths in 1880.[7] There was an Armenian church of Surb Poghos.[7] In 1914, there were 150 Syriacs at Bāṣūrak, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[8] It was located in the kaza of Beşiri.[8] The Armenians were killed by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[9]
