Tal Tamr/Girê Xurma

Til Temir (Arabic: Tell Tamer تل تمر‎, Syriac: Til Temir ܬܠ ܬܡܪ, Kurdish: Girê Xurma or Til Temirê) is a town and Nahiyah seat in Rojava, Cizire Canton, located 40 km north of the city of al-Hasakah. Settled in the 1930s by Iraqi Assyrian refugees fleeing the Simele Massacre in Iraq, by the 1960s the village had grown into a town. The town has a population of 7,285, with a Kurdish majority and Arab/ Assyrian minorities. Center of the Tel Temir subdistrict of Hasaka district of Hasaka governorate.

Its original inhabitants are Assyrians from the Upper Tyari tribe, who came to the area from Hakkari region in Turkey via Iraq. As late as the 1960s, they still comprised virtually the entire population of the town. The majority of the town's modern population is composed of Kurds and settled Arab Bedouins, while local Assyrian leaders in the 1990s estimated their own community's presence in the town to be around 20%.

An Assyrian exodus from the city began in November 2012, when Free Syrian Army soldiers threatened to invade the city. The exodus further continued when the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria took control of nearby roads just outside the city. Since then, over 500 Assyrian families have fled the city. Many Assyrians from the town emigrated mainly to the United States and Canada.
