From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baz (Syriac: ܒܙ) was one of the five independent Assyrian tribes of the Hakkari region.[1]
Maha Khtayya was the chief village of the region, followed by Shwawwa.[2]
The Assyrians of the Baz tribe were renowned carpenters and iron-workers who worked not only in their villages, but throughout Mosul and other large towns of Upper Mesopotamia.[3]
The Assyrian settlements that traditionally comprised the Baz region in Hakkari consist of the following villages.[2][4] The region has been empty since they were abandoned in 1915 due to the Assyrian genocide.[2]
These are the villages occupied after the Baznaye were resettled by the British in 1920s and the French in the 1930s.
