History
editTel-Bal (today called Uğur) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians.[6] In 1914, the village was populated by 300 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[7] There were 50 Syriac Orthodox families who belonged to the diocese of Jezire.[3] Amidst the Sayfo, only two people survived the onslaught as they had been hidden by their Kurdish servants.[3]
