History

Gunda-Abdi (today called Arıkgöl) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[2] It was located in the kaza (district) of Silvan in the Diyarbakır sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[2] In 1914, it was populated by 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[5] By 1914, it was situated in the Bafaya nahiyah (commune) of the kaza of Beşiri.[6] No survivors of the Sayfo are attested from this area.[7]
