History

[edit | edit source]

The town has a historic 13th century great Friday mosque built by the Artuqids.

On 1 July 1915, during the 1915 genocide in Diyarbekir, there was a massacre in the village where its Christian population, the Assyrians were murdered by militia and Kurds. About seventy women were raped in the church, then put to death. Men, women, and children were killed indiscriminately and many victims were decapitated. After the massacre, Kurdish women stabbed any survivors to death. Rafael de Nogales visited weeks later and found "corpses barely covered with heaps of stone from which emerged here and there a bloody tress or an arm or leg gnawed on by hyenas".[9]

In the late 1980s there existed a refugee camp for Kurds who fled persecution by Saddam Hussein.[10]

It was also the scene of clashes between protesting Kurds and Turkish riot police in 2006.[11] In Kiziltepe have been imposed curfews in the past.[12]

The highest temperature ever recorded in Kızıltepe is 49.6 °C (121.28 °F) on 25 July 2025. [13]
