History

Sa'diyyah (today called Kurudere) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[4] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 3 households, who paid 16 dues, and did not have a church or a priest.[3] It was located in the district of al-Bahramakiyyah in 1870.[3]

It was located in the kaza (district) of Silvan in the Diyarbekir sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[4] There were 400 Syriacs in 1914, 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] No survivors of the Sayfo are attested from this area.[8]
