Dizaj-e Takyeh (Persian: ديزج تكيه, romanized: Dīzaj-e Takyeh;[3] Syriac: Dīzātakā)[4][a] is a village in Baranduzchay-ye Shomali Rural District of the Central District in Urmia County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran.[6] The village has at least one Armenian church.[7]

History

Dīzātakā (today called Dizaj-e Takyeh) was inhabited by 110 Church of the East Christian families who were served by the Church of Mār Shallīṭā and 1 priest in 1862, according to the Russian archimandrite Sophoniah.[4] There were 154 Church of the East Christian families at Dīzātakā with 1 priest and 2 churches in 1877, as per Edward Lewes Cutts.[8]

François Lesné, the Apostolic delegate of the Roman Catholic Church in Iran, recorded in a letter to the Lazarist Emile Sontag at Tehran that Dīzātakā was attacked by Kurds in 1908.[9] Muhtasham es-Saltaneh, governor of Urmia, had provided weapons to an Assyrian committee led by Faramarz Khan with responsibility for the protection of Shimshājeyan, Dīzātakā, Ardishai, and Gūgtāpāh, which were designated as places of refuge for people from smaller villages.[9]

Basil Nikitin, the Russian consul at Urmia, recorded that the village was populated by Christians and Muslims just before the First World War.[10] It was located in the Baranduz district.[8] Prior to the First World War, there were 500 Assyrian houses at Dīzātakā, as per the list presented by Agha Petros to the Lausanne Peace Conference in 1922.[11]
