Girmeli (Kurdish: Girê Mîra, lit. 'Emir hill';[1][a] Syriac: Gırēmīrā)[1][b] is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Nusaybin, Mardin Province, Turkey.[4] The population was 3,247 in 2022.[5] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[6][7] The village is populated by Syriacs and by Kurds of the Mizizex and Omerkan tribes.[8]
History
[edit]In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that Gırēmīrā (today called Girmeli) had 8 households, who paid 48 dues, and it did not have a church or a priest.[9] It was inhabited by 400 Syriacs in 1914, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[10] In 1915, there were 70 Syriac families and 10 Kurdish families.[11] The Syriacs adhered to the Syriac Orthodox Church.[12] Amidst the Sayfo, the Syriacs took refuge elsewhere.[13] The village had a population of 571 in 1960.[1] There were 225 Turoyo-speaking Christians in 34 families in 1966.[1] By 1987, there were 7 Syriac families.[14]
