Fırat (Kurdish: Deştadarê)[1][a] is a neighbourhood in the İdil District of Şırnak Province in Turkey.[3] It is populated by Kurds of the Dudêran and Kiçan tribes.[4]
History
Dashta-Dere (today called Fırat) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[2] It was located in the Cizre kaza in the Mardin sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[2] It was populated by 100 Syriacs in 1914, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[5] Amidst the Sayfo, all of the 20 Syriac families who inhabited the village were killed.[6] Kurds occupied the village, where they kept a number of Christians hostages.[6] Syriacs from Azakh attacked the Kurds at Dashta-Dere in October 1915 in order to release the hostages.[6]
