History

Tel-Ya’qub (today called Tepealtı) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians. It was populated by 300 Assyrians in 1914, as per the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. There were ten Assyrian families in 1915. Amidst the Sayfo, the Assyrians took refuge at Mharkan, where they were then killed. By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.
