Çelikköy (Kurdish: Çêlik; Syriac: Chelik)[nb 1] is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Dargeçit, Mardin Province in Turkey.[3] The village is populated by Kurds of the Erebiyan tribe and had a population of 67 in 2021.[1][4]

History

[edit]

Chelik (today called Çelikköy) was historically inhabited by Kurdish-speaking Syriac Orthodox Assyrians.[5] In the mid-nineteenth century, the village was reportedly populated by 400–500 Syriac Orthodox Assyrians, but by 1914, this had dropped to 100 Assyrians in 20 families, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[6] It was located in the kaza (district) of Midyat.[7] The village's Assyrian population was massacred by the Ali Rammo tribe amidst the Sayfo.[8]
