History

Gırēmīrā (today called Girmeli) was inhabited by 400 Assyrians in 1914, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[9] In 1915, there were 70 Assyrian families and 10 Kurdish families.[10] The Assyrians adhered to the Syriac Orthodox Church.[11] Amidst the Sayfo, the Assyrians took refuge elsewhere.[12] The village had a population of 571 in 1960.[1] There were 225 Turoyo-speaking Christians in 34 families in 1966.[1] By 1987, there were 7 Assyrian families.[13]
