This is the introduction to a book written by a Turk about Assyrians claims to the usual. Someone sent it to me and the entire book is online. I don't know how to believe anyone...often it seems people believe what they need to...like Aprim and maybe this guy too. Still there's something refreshing in finding your pet prejudices and beliefs and facts stirred up a bit...like finding out Alex isn't Assyrian and Sadie is nuts.
