Budaklı (Kurdish: Karşaf; Syriac: ܟܦܰܪܫܳܡܰܥ, romanized: Kfar Shomac) is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Midyat, Mardin Province in Turkey.[2] The village is populated by Assyrians and by Kurds of the Şemikan tribe and had a population of 1,075 in 2021.[1][3]
The village of Kfar Shomac was one of the last Mhallami villages near Midyat to be Islamized. According to former Christian residents, who later settled in the Qalatch neighborhood of Midyat (referred to as 'Shawtho du Qalatch') until the 1970s, the reason they fled their village was due to ongoing terror and persecution from the local Kurdish population.[4]
Helga Anschütz (1985) states that the Kurds of Kfar Shomac were involved in activities such as attacking neighboring Christian villages, seizing livestock, stealing property, destroying crops, and harassing Christian women.[5]
In 1549, the notable Maferyono Mor Shamoun I, son of Salukh, was initiated at the Mor Gewargis Church. Kfar Shomac also hosted monasteries such as Mort Februniya, Mor Harqel, Mor Eshacyo, and Mor Yahqub, with the famous Mor Sharbel Monastery—now a mosque—playing a central role. The Maferyono resided at the Mor Sharbel Monastery, which housed many monks until 1583.[6]
Following this period, many Syriac Christian residents began fleeing the village, creating space for Kurdish clans to move into their homes, taking control of their fields and vineyards. Those families who did not convert to Islam eventually abandoned Kfar Shomac and settled in the aforementioned Qalatch neighborhood in Midyat, which is sometimes referred to by the names of prominent families, including Be Malke Mire and Be Haydari.[7]
