History
Kūrik (today called Aydınkonak) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Kurdish-speaking Armenians. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 10 households, who paid 24 dues, and did not have a church or a priest. There were 11 Armenian hearths in 1880. There was an Armenian church of Surb Hakob.
It is tentatively identified with the village of Kureké, which was populated by 200 Syriacs in 1914, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. It was located in the kaza (district) of Beşiri. The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.
