History

Bāmīdān (today called Düzalan) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[6] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 2 households, who did not pay any dues, and did not have a church or a priest.[1] There was 1 Armenian hearth in 1880.[7] It was located in the kaza (district) of Silvan in the Diyarbekir sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[2] The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[8]
