History
editChelik (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 Assyrians.[6] In 1914, it was inhabited by 100 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[7] It was located in the kaza (district) of Midyat.[8] There were ten or twenty Assyrian families in 1915.[9] The village served as the residence of the Kurdish Rammo tribal leader Mustafa Agha.[6] Amidst the Sayfo, the village's Assyrian population was massacred by the Ali Rammo tribe.[6] By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians at Chelik.[10]
