Köşk[a] is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Sur, Diyarbakır Province, Turkey.[2]
Keuchk (today called Köşk) was historically inhabited by Armenians and Syriac Orthodox Christians.[3] It was located in the Diyarbakır central district (merkez kaza) in the Diyarbakır sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[3] In 1914, it was inhabited by 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[4] Amidst the Sayfo, the men from Keuchk and several neighbouring villages were shot on 7 May 1915 by the Al-Khamsin militia at the instigation of the villages' owner, Qasem Bey.[5] 114 men from these villages were killed, according to the testimony of survivors.[5] The women and children were forced to carry out agricultural work and were then forced to convert to Islam or were killed following the end of the agricultural season.[5]
