History

[edit]

Aḥlaḥ (today called Narlı) was inhabited by three or four Assyrian families in 1915.[8] The Assyrians adhered to the Syriac Orthodox Church.[9] Amidst the Sayfo, the Assyrians of Aḥlaḥ were protected by their Kurdish neighbours.[10] Some Assyrians who took refuge at ‘Ayn-Wardo were shot as they attempted to return to their village.[11] The population of the village was 984 in 1960.[5] There were 30 Kurdish-speaking Christians in five families in 1966.[5] By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.[12]
