İdil (Syriac: ܒܝܬ ܙܒܕܐ Beṯ Zabday or ܐܙܟ Āzaḵ, Kurdish: Hezex, Turkish: Azekh) is a district of Şırnak Province of Turkey. The predominant religion in the region is Islam, although it was once the home of many Anatolian Assyrian/Syriac Christians, who are part of the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch and who were speakers of the Syriac language an Aramaic dialect. Idil, part of Tur Abdin, was one of the villages that fell victim to the Assyrian Genocide or Seyfo (literally "the sword" in Syriac) from 1915-1917 (the final years of the Ottoman Empire). After the Seyfo, many of Idil's (or Beth-Zabday's) surviving Christian population were involved in a diaspora; like many of the other Assyrians/Syriacs and Armenians, they too fled to parts of the Middle East, Cyprus, Germany, Sweden, Holland, Canada, and the United States. Kefshenne is of its important villages.
