History

Aslo (today called Darköprü) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Kurdish-speaking Armenians.[5] In 1880, there were 38 Armenian hearths.[6] There was a church of Surb Daniel.[6] In 1914, it was populated by 200 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[7] The Armenians were killed by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.[8]
