Yazidi presence edit

Beşiri once had large Yazidi population, in villages like Kurukavak (Hamdûna) and Uğrak (Texeriyê), only a couple of Yazidi families remain today. However, elsewhere, in Yolveren (Çinêra), Oğuz (Şimzê) and Üçkuyular (Faqîra), some families have returned from diaspora to settle again. These families, have constructed a social and traditional condolence house in Üçkuyular village, with support from the diaspora community in Europe. Villagers and the neighbouring villages use the building as a community place, where they do weddings, funerals and other occasions, as well as prayers. The diaspora Yezidis that funded the house usually have vacation there in the summer. The purpose of this house, which has four rooms, a kitchen and a prayer room, is to help preserve Yazidi presence, culture and traditions in the area.[4]
