Çatalçam, Dargeçit
Çatalçam ( syc, ܕܝܪܐ ܕܨܠܝܒܐ, Dayro da-Slibo, ar, دير الصليب, Dayr al-Ṣalīb) is a village in Mardin Province in southeastern Turkey. It is located in the district of Dargeçit and the historical region of Tur Abdin. The village is populated by Assyrians and had population of 33 in 2021. In the village, there are churches of Mor Aho, the Cross, Mor Heworo, and Mor Barsawmo.

Masʿūd II Of Ṭur ʿAbdin
Masʿūd Zazoyo or Masʿūd of Zaz (c.1430/31 – 1509/1512) was a Syriac Orthodox author, hermit, monk and prelate. Life Masʿūd became the abbot of the Dayr al-Ṣalīb (Monastery of the Cross) around 1462/63. He left the monastery in 1480/81 to become bishop of Ḥesno d'Kifo and the monastery of Mor Quryaqos. As bishop he took the name Basil. In 1492 he became the Patriarch of Ṭur ʿAbdin (as Masʿūd II) and by tradition took the throne name Ignatius. As patriarch he promoted monasticism in the Ṭur ʿAbdin. Masʿūd was not a popular patriarch. He caused confusion by appointing a ''maphrian'', Baselios Malki of Midyat, and twelve new bishops for the Ṭur ʿAbdin, provoking some leading bishops to denounce him. According to Afram Barsoum, they denounced him to the Patriarch of Antioch, the head of the Syriac Orthodox church, but according to the anonymous continuator of the ''Ecclesiastical History'' of Bar Hebraeus, they denounced him to the secular Islamic authority, ...

Kurdish–Turkish Conflict (1978–present)
The Kurdish–Turkish conflict is an armed conflict between the Republic of Turkey and various Kurdish insurgent groups who have either demanded separation from Turkey to create an independent Kurdistan, or attempted to secure autonomy and greater political and cultural rights for Kurds inside the Republic of Turkey. The main rebel group is the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) (Kurdish: ''Partiya Karkerên Kurdistanê''). Although the Kurdish-Turkish conflict has spread to many regions, most of the conflict has taken place in Northern Kurdistan, which corresponds with southeastern Turkey. The PKK's presence in Iraqi Kurdistan has resulted in the Turkish Armed Forces carrying out frequent ground incursions and air and artillery strikes in the region, and its influence in Syrian Kurdistan has led to similar activity there. The conflict has cost the economy of Turkey an estimated $300 to 450 billion, mostly in military costs. It has also affected tourism in Turkey.

Assyrian Genocide
The Sayfo or the Seyfo (; see below), also known as the Assyrian genocide, was the mass slaughter and deportation of Assyrian / Syriac Christians in southeastern Anatolia and Persia's Azerbaijan province by Ottoman forces and some Kurdish tribes during World War I. The Assyrians were divided into mutually antagonistic churches, including the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Church of the East, and the Chaldean Catholic Church. Before World War I, they lived in mountainous and remote areas of the Ottoman Empire (some of which were effectively stateless). The empire's nineteenth-century centralization efforts led to increased violence and danger for the Assyrians. Mass killing of Assyrian civilians began during the Ottoman occupation of Azerbaijan from January to May 1915, during which massacres were committed by Ottoman forces and pro-Ottoman Kurds. In Bitlis province, Ottoman troops returning from Persia joined local Kurdish tribes to massacre the local Christian population ( ...
