History

[edit]

Tirbessibi (today called Akdere) was historically inhabited by Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[5] There were 60 Armenian hearths in 1880.[6] There was an Armenian church of Surb Gevorg.[6] It was located in the kaza (district) of Silvan in the Diyarbekir sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[7] The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[8]
