History

Baghchajig (today called Bahçecik) was historically inhabited by Armenians and Syriac Orthodox Christians.[5] In 1880, there were 8 Armenian hearths.[6] There was an Armenian church of Surb Daniel.[6] It was located in the Diyarbakır central district (merkez kaza) in the Diyarbakır sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[5] In 1914, it was inhabited by 50 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[7]

Amidst the Sayfo, the men from Baghchajig and several neighbouring villages were shot on 7 May 1915 by the Al-Khamsin militia at the instigation of the village's owner, Qasem Bey.[8] 114 men from these villages were killed, according to the testimony of survivors.[8] The women and children were forced to carry out agricultural work and were then forced to convert to Islam or were killed following the end of the agricultural season.[8] 4 Syriac families, consisting of about 50 people, were murdered during the war.[8]
