Assyrians

An anon, User:65.95.110.48, made the following addition (and deletion of a cited statement that the Kurds are a majority of the population):

Once populated exclusivly by Assyrians before the genocide committed them by neighboring Kurds, most Assyrians have been forcely converted to Kurdish Muslims or fled the area completely in 1918.

and changed Category:Kurdish inhabited region to Category:Assyria

I've reverted and am leaving this here for any discussion. --Moby 08:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moby, there is one problem that this article fails to acknowledge. The Assyrian inhabitants of Hakkari, much like the Assyrians and other Christians all over Turkey at the time, were in fact forced to convert to Islam, otherwise they were killed, or driven out of their homes. The paragraph claims that the relocation of the Assyrian tribes was due to fighting, but it does not acknowledge the hundreds of thousands of Assyrian lives lost at the hands of Ottoman and Kurdish troops. Also, the Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East at the time, Mar Benyamin Shimon XXI, was assassinated by Kurdish paramilitary forces. So you might want to mention that fact, if you're going to mention the then-Patriarch.Šarukinu 15:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hakkâri Province

This page should be moved to Hakkâri Province (note the surconflex on the second a). I think I've fixed the misspelling everywhere else. Xemxi

Alternative names

This article is related with a province (Hakkâri Province) not with a city (Hakkâri). So we mustn't add alternative names of the city of Hakkâri. We can add alternative names of the province of Hakkâri with reliable sources. Takabeg (talk) 06:37, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And we shouldn't use the world "capital", but "seat". Gökçe Yörük (talk) 20:07, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both of them are used in English sources. Takabeg (talk) 20:10, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
