History
[edit]Mīr ʿAlī (today called Alibey) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[6] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 10 households, who paid 45 dues, and did not have a church or a priest.[1] There were 30 Armenian hearths in 1880.[7] There was an Armenian church of Surb Gevorg.[7] In 1914, there were 100 Syriacs at Mīr ʿAlī, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[8] The Armenians were killed by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[9]
