History
Chelik (today called Çelikköy) was historically inhabited by Kurdish-speaking Syriac Orthodox Assyrians. In the mid-nineteenth century, the village was reportedly populated by 400–500 Assyrians. In 1914, it was inhabited by 100 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. It was located in the kaza (district) of Midyat. There were ten or twenty Assyrian families in 1915. The village served as the residence of the Kurdish Rammo tribal leader Mustafa Agha. Amidst the Sayfo, the village's Assyrian population was massacred by the Ali Rammo tribe. By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians at Chelik.
