Margawar

Margawar

Margawar, is a sub-district of Silvaneh located in the western part of the Urmia county, Iran. Its inhabitants are Kurds. There are also some Assyrians who belong to the Nochiya Tribe. This sub-district, along with 2 others in modern day Iran, lie in the eastern part of the Nochiya Region. Its plain is surrounded by high mountains, such as Dalanpar, Buze-e-sina, Qolozan and Az mountains. It has about 50 villages, with a total population over 38000.

According to Dr. Harry P. Packard of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church, the districts of Tergawar, Mergawar, and Dasht were destroyed by Turks and Kurds during the Assyrian Genocide in events that gave rise to the Assyrian war of independence.[1]
