History
Bespīn (today called Görümlü) was historically inhabited by Chaldean Catholic Assyrians. According to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation, the village was inhabited by 200 Assyrians in 1914. A church that had been built just prior to the First World War was confiscated in 1915 as it was too close to a Muslim cemetery. Amidst the Sayfo, Bespīn was destroyed by Bohtan Kurds. After 1980, 500 of the 544 Assyrians at Bespīn were forced to emigrate and abandon their property due to the Kurdish–Turkish conflict.
