List of Assyrian settlements

This list includes settlements of Assyrians from Southeastern Turkey who left their indigenous tribal districts in Hakkari (or the historical Hakkari region), Sirnak and Mardin province[2] due to torment, violence and displacement by Ottomans and Kurds in the First World War.

Resettling again occurred during the Simele massacre in northern Iraq, perpetrated by the Iraqi military coup in the 1930s, with many fleeing to northeastern Syria.

[3] Most modern resettlement is located in Iraq,[4] Syria, Turkey,[5] and Iran in the cities of Baghdad, Habbaniyah, Kirkuk, Duhok, Al-Hasakah, Tehran, Mardin and Damascus.

The Assyrian settlements in this region were divided into two groups, ashiret and rayyat.

[74] According to the Council of Europe European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages there were four rural settlements with significant Assyrian population.
