Merki is an Assyrian village located in Hamadaniya District of Nineveh Governorate, located below The Mar Mattai Monastery on Mount Alfaf. The village was founded by Syriac Orthodox Christian refugees from Tikrit in 1089, who fled to the Mar Mattai Monastery, establishing this village in the valley below the monastery. The village and Nineveh Plains region were later bolstered by other Syriac refugees from Tikrit due to Mongol raids in 1295 and Timurs genocide of Christians in the early 1400s. M
