History
Al-Mareğ (today called Suluyazı) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[7] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 14 households, who paid 53 dues, and it did not have a church or a priest.[7] Amidst the Hamidian massacres, it was attacked by about 100 men of the Danabkta kochers led by two sons of the chief of the tribe, Mijdad Agha, on 15 October 1895.[8] Two men were killed and all nine families converted to Islam.[4] Some families subsequently returned to Christianity.[9] Afterwards, seven families fled the village whilst two families remained and were still Muslim by 1898.[2] It was settled by some Kurdish families.[2] The village was depopulated in the 1990s.[6]
