History

Šahirkā (today called Kuyulu) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[6] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 2 households, who paid 14 dues, and it did not have a church or a priest.[3] In 1914, it was inhabited by 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[7] There were 20 Syriac families in 1915.[8] Amidst the Sayfo, half of the village was slaughtered whilst the survivors escaped to Hah.[9] By 1987, there were no remaining Syriacs.[10]
