Dargeçit 达尔盖奇特
Dargeçit (Syriac:ܟܪܒܘܪܢ Kerburan, Kurdish:Kerboran) is a district of the Mardin Province of Turkey, traditionally an Kurdish people town. It had approximately 300 families in 1900. Prior to the Assyrian and Armenian Genocides this city was inhabited by Kurds, Assyrians/Syriacs and Armenians. Before 1979, regardless of the genocide, it was still inhabited by Kurds, Assyrians, but most of the Assyrian/Syriac people fled/left the city after the murder of Andreas Demir Lahdik, the Mayor of Kerburan at the time. The government then changed the name of the city to Dargeçit by force. After the exodus, the town was populated with a near complete Kurdish majority, with a tiny amount of Assyrians staying.
