History
Tamars (today called Uçarlı) was historically inhabited by adherents of the Church of the East.[9] Prior to the 18th century, the Church of St. Abba Sallara at Tamars, which had originally belonged to the Church of the East, came under the control of the Syriac Orthodox Church following the conversion of some of the villagers.[10] There was also a Syriac Orthodox Church of the Loaf.[11] Adherents of the Church of the East at Tamars converted to the Chaldean Catholic Church in the 19th century.[9] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 19 households, who paid 69 dues, and it did not have a church or a priest.[12]
In 1914, it was populated by 120 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[13] In 1915, there were 20 Syriac families.[14] It served as the residence of the Kurdish chief Muhamma ‘Alo and his clan who belonged to the Haverkan confederation.[9] It was located in the kaza of Midyat.[13] Amidst the Sayfo, upon hearing of the attack on the neighbouring village of Midun, the Syriacs of Tamars were escorted to safety at Beth Sbirino by Muhamma ‘Alo.[9] The village had a population of 147 in 1960.[6] There were 26 Turoyo-speaking Christians in five families at Tamars in 1966.[6] By 1987, there were no remaining Syriacs.[15]
