Mağaraköy or Mağara (Kurdish: Kiwex;[2][a] Syriac: Kīvakh)[4][b] is a village in the İdil District of the Şırnak Province in Turkey.[6] The village is populated by Kurds of the Salihan tribe.[7]
History
Kīvakh (today called Mağaraköy) is identified with the town of Kibaki, which submitted to Ashurnasirpal II during his campaign against Nairi in 879 BC.[8] Ashurnasirpal II spent one night encamped at Kibaki and received cattle, sheep, wine, and bronze cooking-pots in tribute.[9] It was located in the Kašiēri mountains.[10] The Eastern Roman Emperor Anastasius I Dicorus (r. 491–518) is said to have donated the village to the Mor Gabriel Monastery.[11]
At the beginning of the 20th century, it was a large village and was home to the Yazidi Çelkî tribe.[12] When the Ottomans called upon them to join the army in 1910s, they refused.[12] No school existed in the village.[12] Yazidi Kurds from the village are said to have helped the Christians of Azekh amidst the Sayfo to fight Turkish Kurds.[13] They also provided information, weapons, and transport to the Syriacs at ‘Ayn-Wardo.[14] The village was disarmed by the Turkish state in 1926 in the aftermath of the Sheikh Said rebellion.[15]
A ruined church was extant at the village in 1978.[16] In the 1980s, the village was reported to be populated by the Hevirkan tribe, a tribe of Yazidi belief.[17] In 2018, the village was reported to be populated by the Salihan tribe.[7] The Salihan tribe has both Muslim and Yazidi members, but the ones in Mağara are Yazidi.[7] In 2022, the village had a population of 15, increased from 6 in 2012.[1]
