History
Armun (today called Yassıca) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians. In 1914, the village was populated by 200 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. It was located in the kaza of Midyat. There were ten Assyrian families in 1915. Amidst the Sayfo, the village was attacked by Turkish soldiers and some Kurdish tribesmen, leaving only ten Assyrian survivors. By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.
