Kefshenne
Kayalı (Kurdish: Kefşîn, Syriac: Kefshenne) is a village in the İdil District of Şırnak Province in Turkey. The village is populated by Kurds of the Dorikan tribe and had a population of 433 in 2021.
History
Kefshenne (today called Kayalı) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians. In 1914, the village was inhabited by 200 Assyrians, according to the Assyro-Chaldean delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. There were 25–30 Assyrian families in 1915. They had had an Assyrian landlord, Hano Basuski. It was located in the kaza of Jazirat Ibn ʿUmar. Amidst the Sayfo, the Assyrians fled with all their property to Azakh after having been warned by the Muslim villagers to flee for their own safety. They returned to Kefshenne after the war, but later emigrated to Mosul in Iraq. The village was subsequently seized by Kurds. By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.
