History

[edit]

Ḥidl (today called Kayı) is identified with the ancient town of Andulu, located in the Izalla region.[9] It was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians.[10] They had adhered to the Church of the East until their conversion to the Syriac Orthodox Church before the 18th century.[11]

In 1914, the village was populated by 100 Assyrians, according to the Assyro-Chaldean delegation to the Paris Peace Conference.[12] There were 20 or 22 Syriac Orthodox families at Ḥidl in 1915.[13] Amidst the Sayfo, the villagers took refuge at Azakh and remained there until the end of the massacres.[14] By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.[15]
