History

Rizök (today called Oymak) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[3] It was located in the Midyat kaza in the Mardin sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c.1900.[3] In 1914, there were 100 Syriacs, as per the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[5]
