History
editIn 1914, Sārī (today called Sarıköy) was inhabited by 300 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[10] It was administered as part of the kaza (district) of Midyat.[10] The Assyrians adhered to the Syriac Orthodox Church.[11] In 1915, there were 200 Assyrian families.[12] The Assyrians were divided into fourteen clans and were historically under the patronage of the Kurdish Salihan tribe.[2] Amidst the Sayfo, the Assyrians of Sārī took refuge at Basibrin.[13]
The village had a population of 168 in 1960.[14] There were 180 Turoyo-speaking Christians in 24 families at Sārī in 1966.[14] There were 180 speakers of Turoyo in the village in 1984.[15] In the late 20th century, Assyrians from Sārī emigrated to the Netherlands, Germany, and France.[16] In 2007, the Turkish army was ordered to evict Kurds who had illegally settled at Sārī.[16] In the winter, the village is inhabited by only the Christian mukhtar.[16]
