[edit]Baqûz (today called Onbaşılar) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[5] In the village, there is a late medieval or Ottoman bridge.[6] There were three Armenian hearths in 1880.[7] In 1914, there were 680 Syriacs at Baqûz, 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]
