History
Kafarzū (today called Yenipınar) was historically inhabited by Kurdish-speaking Syriac Orthodox Christians and Armenians. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 48 households, who paid 215 dues, and had 2 priests. There was a Syriac Orthodox church of Yūldaṯ Alohō. There were 18 Armenian hearths in 1880. It was located in the Beşiri kaza in the Diyarbakır sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900. It was populated by 700 Syriacs in 1914, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.
