History
Baḥwar (today called Gülveren) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 4 households, who did not pay any dues, and did not have a church or a priest. In 1914, there were 100 Syriacs in the village, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.
