Many Assyrians from Urmia, Iran were also affected and as such have emigrated and settled in other towns. Resettling again occurred during the Simele massacre in northern Iraq, perpetrated by the Iraqi military coup in the 1930s, with many fleeing to northeastern Syria.[http://www.aina.org/books/aov.htm M.Y.A .

Assyrians immigrated to Syria during the 1930s and 1940s, from northern Iraq, after they were slaughtered and displaced during the Simele massacre perpetrated by the armed forces of the Kingdom of Iraq.Rowlands, J., "The Khabur Valley," Royal Central Asian Society Journal, 1947, pp. 144-149. Many Assyrians in Syria did not have Syrian citizenship and title to their land until late 1940s.Betts, Robert Brenton, Christians in the Arab East (Atlanta, 1978){{cite journal |last1=Dodge |first1=Bayard |title=The settlement of the Assyrians on the Khabbur |journal=Journal of the Royal Central Asian Society |date=1 July 1940 |volume=27 |issue=3 |page=312 |doi=10.1080/03068374008730969 |issn=0035-8789}} The Assyrians who settled in the Khabour River Valley organized their villages according to their own tribal structure, with each village belonging to a single tribe.{{cite journal |last1=Dodge |first1=Bayard |title=The settlement of the Assyrians on the Khabbur |journal=Journal of the Royal Central Asian Society |date=1 July 1940 |volume=27 |issue=3 |page=318 |doi=10.1080/03068374008730969 |issn=0035-8789}} As such, each village effectively has two names, the official Arabic name and the unofficial Assyrian name, with the latter being the name of the tribe that built the town.{{cite journal |last1=Dodge |first1=Bayard |title=The settlement of the Assyrians on the Khabbur |journal=Journal of the Royal Central Asian Society |date=1 July 1940 |volume=27 |issue=3 |page=314 |doi=10.1080/03068374008730969 |issn=0035-8789}}{{cite journal |last1=Fernandez |first1=Alberto M. |title=Dawn at Tell Tamir: The Assyrian Christian Survival on the Khabur River |journal=Journal of Assyrian Academic Studies |date=1998 |volume=12 |issue=1 |pages=41, 42 |url=http://www.jaas.org/edocs/v12n1/Fernandez.pdf}}

The following is a list of Assyrian settlements in the Hakkari region prior to the Assyrian genocide of 1914. The Assyrian settlements in this region were divided into two groups, ashiret and rayyat. The ashiret settlements belonged to the five semi-independent tribes of Tyari, Tkhuma, Baz, Jilu, and Dez with each tribe presiding over its own district. The rayyat settlements were vassals to either the ashiret tribes or to Kurdish chieftains.{{cite book |last1=Wilmshurst |first1=David |title=The ecclesiastical organisation of the Church of the East, 1318-1913 |date=2000 |publisher=Peeters |page=285 |location=University of Virginia |isbn=9782877235037}}
