Dargeçit (Syriac: ܟܪܒܘܪܢ Kerburan, Kurdish:Kerboran) is a district of the Mardin Province of Turkey, traditionally an Assyrian/Syriac town. It had approximately 300 families in 1900. Prior to the Assyrian and Armenian Genocides this city was inhabited by Assyrians/Syriacs, Kurds and Armenians. Before 1979, regardless of the genocide, it was still inhabited by Assyrians, but most of the Assyrian/Syriac people fled/left the city after the murder of Andreas Demir Lahdik, the Mayor of Kerburan at the time. The government then changed the name of the city to Dargeçit by force.
