History
Šemšem (today called Ormankaya) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Armenians.[8] The village belonged to the Syriac Orthodox diocese of Hattack.[9] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had eighty-four households, who paid one hundred and twenty-eight dues, and it did not have a priest.[1] There were Syriac Orthodox churches of Morī Agrīpūs and Mortī Šmūnī.[1] In 1880, there were forty-four Armenian hearths.[10] There was an Armenian church of Surb Hovhannes.[10] In 1914, it was populated by 800 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[11] It was located in the kaza of Lice.[11] The village's population was massacred before mid-July 1915 amidst the Sayfo by gangs of çetes.[12]
