History
Awina (today called Sürgücü) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians. The kaza of Awina in the sanjak of Mardin in the Diyarbekir vilayet was named after the village although the administrative seat was at Savur. The Chaldean Catholic priest Joseph Tfinkdji estimated the village's population as 600 in 1914, including 60 Chaldean Catholics and Armenian Catholics, who did not have a priest, church, or school, whilst the rest of the population was Muslim. In 1914, it was populated by 100 Assyrians, as per the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. The Christians at Awina were massacred on 1 June 1915 amidst the Sayfo.
