Kocapınar (Kurdish: Emerîn, Syriac: ‘Amīrīn)[2][nb 1] is a village in the Cizre District of Şırnak Province in Turkey.[5] The village is populated by Kurds of the Amara and Meman tribes and had a population of 806 in 2021.[1][6]

History

‘Amīrīn (today called Kocapınar) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox and Chaldean Catholic Assyrians,[3] of whom the latter had formerly adhered to the Church of the East.[4] The priest and monk Gīwārgīs of ‘Amīrīn is attested at the Church of the East Monastery of Mār Aḥḥā the Egyptian in 1540.[7]

By the time of the Sayfo, 300 people inhabited the village according to Agha Petros, including 250 Syriac Orthodox Christians and some Chaldean Catholic families.[8] On 1 June 1915, the village was seized and most of its inhabitants were captured by Kurds belonging to the Esene, Mammi, and ‘Alikan tribes; 15 families were able to escape under the protection of the Kurdish sheikh ‘Abde from Batelle, who escorted them to Azekh.[9]
