Güçlü (Kurdish: Zêrê; Syriac: Zere)[1][a] is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Silvan, Diyarbakır Province in Turkey.[3] It is populated by Kurds and had a population of 582 in 2022.[4][5]
History
Zere (today called Güçlü) was historically inhabited by Chaldean Catholics, Syriac Orthodox Christians, and Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[6] There were 25 Armenian hearths in 1880.[7] It was located in the kaza (district) of Silvan in the Diyarbekir sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[8]
By 1913, there were 120 recently converted Chaldean Catholics at the village who were served by one priest without a church as part of the archdiocese of Amida.[9] In 1914, it was populated by 200 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[10] The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[11]
