History
[edit]The Church of Mar Saba at Arbaye (today called Alayunt) is believed to have been constructed in the eighth century.[8] In 1914, the village was inhabited by 250 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[9] There were 30 Assyrian families in 1915.[10] The Assyrians adhered to the Syriac Orthodox Church.[11] Amidst the Sayfo, Kurds led by Ali Musa of Dayvan murdered most of the Assyrians and destroyed the Church of Mar Saba.[8] The Church of Mar Jirjis was rebuilt in the 1940s.[12] The village had a population of 295 in 1960.[3] There were 215 Kurdish-speaking Christians in 32 families at Arbaye in 1966.[3] It was abandoned by the Assyrians in 1978.[13]
