[edit]

In 1841, when Nurullah Beg, who wanted to subdue the Assyrian Patriarch, burned and destroyed the village of Koçanıs, the religious center of the Assyrians, the patriarch Mar Shimun Roel took refuge in the region where the Dız Tribe lived. As a result of these conflicts, the Tyari Assyrians, who were also influenced by the missionaries operating in the region, in order to take revenge on the Kurds, and relying on their large population, killed 50 of the Seyyids in a village affiliated with Bedir Khan Beg, looted the village, converted the village mosque into a church and appointed a priest. Following this incident, Bedir Khan Beg sent some soldiers to Nurullah Beg to fight the Assyrians. However, despite Nurullah Beg losing many soldiers to the Assyrians, he could not achieve the desired result.[1][2][3][5][4][6][7][8][9][10]
