Population
Sharafiya was predominantly populated by Yazidis before Assyrians of the Tyari tribe settled in the village fleeing Hakkâri during the Assyrian genocide. There are two churches in the village: a Chaldean Catholic church and an Ancient Church of the East named Mar Gewargis (St. George).[1]
