History

Ārōsh (today called Ortaköy) was historically inhabited by Assyrian people and located in the Lower Tyari district in the Hakkari region.[3] According to the English missionary George Percy Badger, the village was inhabited by 17 Assyrian families in 1850, all of whom belonged to the Church of the East; this grew to 20 families in 1877 when visited by Edward Lewes Cutts, by which time a church had also been built.[3] Ārōsh was served as part of the diocese of the Patriarch of the Church of the East.[4] The village was destroyed by the Ottoman Army in June 1915 amidst the Sayfo.[5]
