History

Tamars (today called Uçarlı) was historically inhabited by Assyrians.[3] They had originally adhered to the Church of the East but were converted to the Chaldean Catholic Church in the 19th century.[7] There was a Church of the Loaf.[8]

Until the First World War, the village was inhabited by 20 Assyrian families.[7] Amidst the Sayfo, upon hearing of the attack on the neighbouring village of Midun, the Assyrians of Tamars were escorted to safety at Beth Sbirino by the Kurdish chief Muhamma ‘Alo.[7]
