Çavuşlu, Midyat

Çavuşlu is a former Assyrian settlement that is mainly populated by the Mhallami with some Kurdish families. The history of Shorezbah dates back to the earliest settlements in the region, which date to the third century BC. Due to its central location in the eastern Mhalmayto region, Shorezbah became a place where Syriac christian leaders from surrounding villages would gather to discuss matters of mutual concern, particularly in times of danger or when disputes arose between villages. It is believed that the decision for mass conversion to Islam, in order to protect their children from the wrath of Nasuh Pasha, was likely made in Shorezbah.^[6]

The village has experienced a population loss in recent years due to economic migration.^[5][2]
