Çığlı (Kurdish: Aşut;[1] Syriac: ܥܫܝܬܐ, romanized: Āshīṯā)[2][nb 1] is a village in Hakkâri Province in southeastern Turkey.

[8] The village served as one of two places in the Hakkari region designated by the Patriarch of the Church of the East as a location for the resolution of disputes under the arbitration of a malik.

[10] A large mission station was built at Ashitha by the American Protestant missionary Asahel Grant in September 1842.

[12] The size and position of the mission station atop an isolated hill, commanding the whole valley, unnerved Kurds and Turkish authorities, and sparked a series of events that led to the Kurdish massacres in Hakkari in 1843.

[15] Many villagers were killed during the massacres of 1846, and the mission station, which had been converted into a Kurdish fortress,[16] was destroyed during the Ottoman suppression of the revolt of Bedir Khan in 1847.

[25] Amidst the Sayfo in the First World War, Ashitha was attacked by Turks and Kurds under Rashid Bey, Emir of Lower Barwari, on 11 June 1915, and the village was defended under the leadership of Zenkho of Bet Hiob and Lazar of Ashita.
