History

Shehirkan (today called Kuyulu) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians. In 1914, it was inhabited by 100 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. There were 20 Assyrian families in 1915. Amidst the Sayfo, half of the village was slaughtered whilst the survivors escaped to Hah. By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.
