Sarıdana (Kurdish: Simxor; Syriac: Semḥōr)[2][a] is a village in the Şirvan District of Siirt Province in Turkey.[5] The village had a population of 252 in 2021.[1] It is located in the Botan valley.[2]
History
Semḥōr (today called Sarıdana) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[2] Syriacs from the village emigrated to Istanbul in the 1840s.[6] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 57 households, who paid 469 dues, and had one priest, but did not have a church.[7] According to Raymond Kévorkian, it was populated by Armenians and adherents of the Church of the East.[8] It was the largest non-Muslim village in the Şirvan District.[9] The village was not affected by the Hamidian massacres in 1895 as it was protected by a hired Kurdish guard.[10] By 1898, there were 50 Syriac households, according to James Henry Monahan, the British Vice-Consul of Bitlis.[11]
