Etymology


Al-Qahtaniyah was officially called Qbor el-Bid until 1962. Its old name was derived from the Arabic words "Qbor" ("graves") and "el-Bid" ("white") – i.e. "white graves."[2]


Demographics


The majority of the towns inhabitants are Kurds, followed by a large number of Assyrians and Arameans.[2]

History


al-Qahtaniyah was founded as an Assyrian city in the 1920s.[2]

In 1927, the Kurdish tribal chief Haco Agha of the influential Haverkan tribe immigrated from Turkey together with more than 600 families and settled in the town.[3] On 13 March 2004, after the 2004 Qamishli riots when 40 Kurdish civilians were killed, residents of Al-Qahtaniyah who protested the killings were shot at and injured by Syrian forces.[4]

As of 2004, Al-Qahtaniyah is the sixth largest town in Al-Hasakah governorate.

In late July 2012, during the civil war, the YPG took control of the town.[5]
