Sazlıçökek (Syriac: Talġāz)[1][a] is a settlement in the municipality and district of Sur, Diyarbakır Province in Turkey.[3]
Talġāz (today called Sazlıçökek) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians and Armenians.[4] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 7 households, who did not pay any dues, and did not have a church or a priest.[1] There were 2 Armenian hearths in 1880.[5] The village was attacked and plundered during the massacres in the Diyarbekir vilayet in 1895.[6]
The village was located in the Diyarbakır central district (merkez kaza) in the Diyarbakır sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[4] In 1914, it was populated by 200 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[7]
