Karagöl (Syriac: Dayro d-Qubo)[1][nb 1] is a settlement in the district of Dargeçit, Mardin Province in Turkey.[4] It is located in the historical region of Tur Abdin.[5]

History

[edit]

In 1914, Dayro d-Qubo (today called Karagöl) was inhabited by 100 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[6] There were ten Assyrian families in 1915.[7] They belonged to the Syriac Orthodox Church.[4] It was located in the kaza (district) of Midyat.[8] Amidst the Sayfo, the villagers were escorted to safety at Hah by Agha Hajo of the Kurtak clan.[9]

95 Turoyo-speaking Assyrians in 15 families resided at Dayro d-Qubo in 1966.[3] The village was forcibly evacuated by the Turkish army in 1995 due to the Kurdish–Turkish conflict and its population moved to the nearby village of Beth Kustan.[10] By 2003, five families had returned to Dayro d-Qubo and had begun building two new houses and restoring the village's church that had been vandalised by Kurds.[10] In 2013, the village was inhabited by 4 Assyrian families.[11]
