History
[edit]In 1862, Khaneshan with Sopurghan had a combined population of 172 Church of the East families and was served by two priests and the Church of Mār Giwārgīs.[5] Khaneshan was made part of the new Church of the East diocese of Sopurghan in 1874.[1] There were 40 Church of the East families at Khaneshan in 1877 with no priests or churches.[6] The village had a mixed population of Christians and Muslims prior to the First World War, according to the list prepared by Basil Nikitin, the Russian consul at Urmia.[7] Amidst the Sayfo, the village's Christian population, then consisting of fifty Armenian and Assyrian households, was slaughtered by Turks with no survivors.[8]
