By Musa Ergin On 2 July 1915, Hacı Başar Bey gathered the Kurdish and Arab tribal leaders of Midyat, seeking their support for attacks against Christians. Ali Batte’s response was, "Whoever attacks the Christians will find me standing against them." This clear and resolute stance helped prevent potential mass massacres in the area. The Heverki tribe saved the lives of hundreds of people by taking the Syriacs and Armenians in Tur Abdin under their protection.

AYN WARDO, Turkey — Residents of the village of Ayn Wardo in Tur Abdin, together with Syriac (Aramean–Assyrian–Chaldean) visitors from the diaspora, gathered for a spiritual celebration marking the feast day of the village's patron saint, Mor Hadbshabo. Residents of Ayn Wardo and neighboring villages throughout Tur Abdin participated in the celebration, continuing the long-standing tradition of observing Syriac Orthodox feasts, customs, and heritage while honoring the legacy of their ancestors in Beth Nahrin (Mesopotamia).

By Musa Ergin Not all names from Tur Abdin have yet been documented. Therefore, I would like to turn the social media comment made by our reader into an open invitation that applies to everyone carrying similar family histories: I invite anyone who knows a documented or orally transmitted story of a protector or defender from Midyat or Tur Abdin during the Sayfo Genocide, regardless of their origin or religion, whether Christian, Muslim, Kurdish, or Syriac, to share this story along with names, locations, and, if possible, sources.

Molti dei progetti riguardano il sud-est del Paese, area in cui si concentra la presenza delle minoranze religiose. Il caso della 'Centrale solare G25' nel villaggiocaldeo di Aynwardo. Per il governo turco è di 'interesse pubblico' e va sostenuto. Il parlamentare cristiano George Aryo ha già sollevato (invano) la questione in Parlamento.
