Baz (tribe)

Baz (Syriac: ܒܙ) was one of the five independent Assyrian tribes of the Hakkari region.

Maha Khtayya was the chief village of the region, followed by Shwawwa.

The Assyrians of the Baz tribe were renowned carpenters and iron-workers who worked not only in their villages, but throughout Mosul and other large towns of Upper Mesopotamia.

The Assyrian settlements that traditionally comprised the Baz region in Hakkari consist of the following villages. The region has been empty since they were abandoned in 1915 due to the Assyrian genocide.

These are the villages occupied after the Baznaye were resettled by the British in 1920s and the French in the 1930s.
