Kocapınar (Kurdish: Emerîn; Syriac: ‘Amīrīn) is a village in the Cizre District of Şırnak Province in Turkey. The village is populated by Kurds of the Amara and Meman tribes and had a population of 806 in 2021.
History
‘Amīrīn (today called Kocapınar) was historically inhabited by adherents of the Church of the East. The priest and monk Gīwārgīs of ‘Amīrīn is attested at the Monastery of Mār Aḥḥā the Egyptian in 1540. In 1914, it was inhabited by 300 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. There were 250 Syriac Orthodox Christians and some Chaldean Catholic families. Amidst the Sayfo, on 1 June 1915, most of the Assyrians were taken and killed by the Kurds of the Esene, Mammi, and ‘Alikan tribes. Fifteen families were able to escape under the protection of the Kurdish sheikh ‘Abde from Batelle, who escorted them to Azekh. The village was subsequently seized by Kurds.
