History

[edit]

Zimmarih (today called Bozburun) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians.[6] In 1914, 120 Assyrians inhabited the village, according to the Assyro-Chaldean delegation to the Paris Peace Conference.[7] There were 20 Assyrian families in 1915.[8] It was located in the kaza (district) of Midyat.[7] It served as the residence of Musa Fatme, chief of the Dayran clan.[9] Amidst the Sayfo, Musa Fatme gave asylum to 40 Assyrian refugees and he and his family escorted them in two groups to safety at Beth Sbirino.[9] By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.[8]
