A series of massacres in Hakkari in the years 1843 and 1846 of Assyrian Christians were carried out by the Kurdish emirs of Bohtan and Hakkari, Bedir Khan Beg and Nurullah Beg along with allied Assyrian tribes who were against the rule of Shimun XVII Abraham. According to Dr. Smith, the population lost as a result of these events was between 10,000 and 15,000, of which around 10,000 were killed during the first campaign. Another American missionary, Justin Perkins, estimated that approximately 7,000 Assyrians were killed in Tehoma alone in 1846.
