History
[edit]Chelik (today called Çelikköy) was historically inhabited by Kurdish-speaking Syriac Orthodox Christians.[7] In the mid-nineteenth century, the village was reportedly populated by 400–500 Syriacs.[3] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that Chelik had sixty-nine households that owed dues, of whom seven paid, and was served by one priest and no church.[6] In 1914, it was inhabited by 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[8] It was located in the kaza (district) of Midyat.[9] There were ten or twenty Syriac families in 1915.[10] The village served as the residence of the Kurdish Rammo tribal leader Mustafa Agha.[3] Amidst the Sayfo, the village's Syriac population was massacred by the Ali Rammo tribe.[3] By 1987, there were no remaining Syriacs at Chelik.[11]
