Ayn-Sare (today called Pınarbaşı) was historically inhabited by Syriac OrthodoxAssyrians.[5] In 1914, the village was inhabited by many Kurdish families and 150 Assyrians in 15 families, according to the Assyro-Chaldean delegation to the Paris Peace Conference.[6] Amidst the Sayfo, a number of Assyrians fled to Azakh after having been warned by a Kurdish woman that their Kurdish neighbours were conspiring to massacre them, whilst those who did not believe her and remained at Ayn-Sare were killed.[7]
