History
Tel-Manar (today called Tepeüstü) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians. In 1914, it was populated by 150 Assyrians, as per the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. There were ten Assyrian families in 1915. Amidst the Sayfo, the Assyrians took refuge at Mharkan, where they were then killed by Yusuf Hajo. By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.
