History
editGuerektha d’Badro (today called Çiftlikköy) was historically inhabited by Chaldean Catholic Assyrians.[6] The scribe Isha'ya, son of Peter, of the Mir Sharif family of Arena, copied a manuscript at the village in 1844.[7] In 1850, Guerektha d’Badro was populated by 12 Chaldean Catholic families and were served by one church as part of the Chaldean Catholic diocese of Gazarta, according to the English missionary George Percy Badger.[8] The priest Zakarya, son of the priest Yalda, of the monastery of Mar Sabrisho, is recorded to have copied a manuscript at the village in 1859 as well.[9]
In 1913, Guerektha d’Badro had 600 Chaldean Catholic Assyrians with one church and one priest as per Chaldean Catholic priest Joseph Tfinkdji whilst the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation gave the village's population as 800 Assyrians in 1914.[10] It was located in the kaza of Jazirat Ibn ʿUmar.[3] Amidst the Sayfo, Guerektha d’Badro was attacked on the feast day of Saint Thomas the Apostle, on 3 July 1915, and most of the villagers were massacred inside the church and the village itself was destroyed.[11]
