History

Šahirkā was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 2 households, who paid 14 dues, and it did not have a church or a priest. In 1914, it was inhabited by 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. There were 20 Syriac families in 1915. Amidst the Sayfo, half of the village was slaughtered whilst the survivors escaped to Hah. By 1987, there were no remaining Syriacs.
