History

Mazrehreš (today called Yakacık) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[6] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 3 households, who paid 22 dues, and did not have a priest.[2] There was a church of Yūldaṯ Alohō.[2] There were 20 Armenian hearths and an Armenian church in 1880.[7] It was located in the district of Beşiri.[8] The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[9]
