History
Shehirkan (today called Kuyulu) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians. In 1914, it was inhabited by 100 Assyrians, according to the Assyro-Chaldean delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. There were 20 Syriac Orthodox 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.
