Chaldean Catholic Archeparchy of Amida

The Archeparchy of Amida (or Diyarbakır) is the Chaldaean rite Catholic diocese of Turkey, with its archiepiscopal see in Diyarbakır, Turkey.
History.
It was first established in 1531 as the Chaldean Diocese of Amid(a). In June 1915 it gained territory from the suppressed Chaldean Catholic Diocese of Seert (now a titular see).
After the Assyrian Genocide it was left vacant and lapsed after the death of its archbishop in 1923. Nevertheless, the size of the diocese increased on 3 July 1957 from the suppression of the Chaldean Catholic Diocese of Gazireh.
On 3 January 1966, it was promoted to an Archeparchy (Eastern Catholic archdiocese) and a new archbishop was ordained to fill the role. Since that point, it has been the sole Chaldean diocese in Turkey, and in effect resides over all of Turkeys Chaldeans.
Its episcopal see was historically located at St. Mary's Cathedral in Diyarbekir, and it still is in modern day, but the archeparch (or archbishop) now resides in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, where the Chaldean community use Holy Trinity Greek Catholic Cathedral, formerly for the Greek Byzantine Catholics, as their church.
