History
ʿAyn-Sare (today called Pınarbaşı) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had eight households, who paid twenty-six dues, and did not have a church or a priest. In 1914, the village was inhabited by 150 Syriacs, according to the Assyro-Chaldean delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. There was fifteen Syriac families and a significant Kurdish population. Amidst the Sayfo, a number of Syriacs 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 ʿAyn-Sare were killed.
