Başkavak (Arabic: الأحمدي,[2] Syriac: Aḥmadī)[3][a] is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Savur, Mardin Province in Turkey.[5] The village is populated by Arabic-speaking Mhallami and had a population of 2,014 in 2021.[1][6] Members of the Naqshbandi sayyid Beyt Hamidi family also reside in the village who maintain followers in nearby settlements.[7] It is located in the historic region of Bēth Muḥallam in Tur Abdin.[8]

History

Aḥmadī (today called Başkavak) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[3] A small church was built in the village by Yuhanna, metropolitan of Mardin (r. 1125–1165).[9] Patriarch Ignatius Jacob I (r. 1510/1512–1517/1519) was born at Aḥmadī.[10] 6 deacons were ordained for the Syriac Orthodox Church of the Mother of God at Aḥmadī in 1587 (AG 1898).[11] The village's population converted to Islam in 1583 or c. 1609 to escape persecution.[12]
