History
[edit]Bāšnīq (today called Bağdere) 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 twelve households, who paid sixty-three dues, and did not have a priest.[1] There was a church of Yūldaṯ Alohō.[1] There were three Armenian hearths in 1880.[7] In 1914, there were 200 Syriacs at Bāšnīq, 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]
