İzbırak, Midyat

Template:Unreferenced stub İzbırak (Syriac: Zaz) is village in the Midyat district of Mardin Province, Turkey and is about 20 kilometers north of Midyat. The village is surrounded by grape gardens and fruitful trees and in the middle of the village lies a popular pond (Raumo). In the upper half village is the Church of Mor Dimet. In the middle half of the village is the Church of Mart Shmuni, as well as the Church of Mor Gabriel in the lower half.

Many Assyrians have survived during the war thanks to the bravery of many people (Hana Aktan) and the strength of the church. Actually there are only 3 families living there and one Christian Orthodox monk in the Church of Mor Dimet. Since 2005, the popular pond (Raumo) is empty.
