History
‘Isa-Powar (today called İsapınar) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[5] It was located in the kaza (district) of Silvan in the Diyarbakır sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[5] In 1914, it was populated by 200 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[6] By 1914, it was situated in the Bafaya nahiyah (commune) of the kaza of Beşiri.[7] The Chaldean Catholic priest Joseph Tfinkdji estimated the village's population as 300 in 1914, including 80 Chaldean Catholics and Armenian Catholics.[8] Amidst the Sayfo, the head of the village, a Syriac called Rais Bero, was summoned to Diyarbakır and he and his son-in-law were killed after they refused to convert to Islam.[9] No survivors of the Sayfo are attested from this area.[9]
