History Bāḥezraq (today called Örmegöze) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians, Kurdish-speaking Armenians, and adherents of the Church of the East. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 8 households, who paid 9 dues, and did not have a church or a priest. The Armenians were attacked by the Belek, Bekran, Şegro, and other Kurdish tribes in May 1915 amidst the Armenian genocide.
