History

Tel-Manar (today called Tepeüstü) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians.[5] In 1914, it was populated by 150 Assyrians, as per the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[6] There were ten Assyrian families in 1915.[7] Amidst the Sayfo, the Assyrians took refuge at Mharkan, where they were then killed by Yusuf Hajo.[8] By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.[7]
