The paper addresses the plight of the Syriac communities in the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century and on the eve of the 1915 Genocide. In particular, it addresses the status of these communities within the Ottoman millet system, discusses the spoken languages of the Syriacs, and their relations with the Armenians. As for the specific case of the Syriacs of Kharberd (Kharput), the paper presents historical evidence of their presence in the city, provides snapshots of their social, economic and religious lives, educational system and local press. The paper shows that the Syriacs of Kharberd were destined to share the fate of the Armenians during the 1915 Genocide and briefly presents their expatriate communities in the United States
