You know what's funny is I heard this from an "Assyrian Nationalist" who said that "they don't want an Assyria because they are not capable of such thing and they would never give up their lixorious lives in the west for North Iraq". And I think that is about right. They all want to claim to have done something for "Assyria" and I guess that makes them feel better. But it really doesent take a rocket scientist to figure out that their lame strategies have not worked and ever since this "Assyrian nationalism" was invented by the British, only because they needed an ally, it has brought nothing but destruction. They have clapped their hands whenever a group of Christians came for their own interests and thought they were coming to help them as fellow "Christians". That is why not one of them as came on here and met up your simple challenge of just one fucking scenario where they were killed by "Muslims" for just simply being "Assyrian" and or "Christian". All they have done is bring the same old stories which were punishments for "sedition" and other crimes which nothing unusual.

We may like to believe that North Iraq is ours, we may be proud and see ourselves as direct descendants of Ashur Banipal, but when someone picks up a weapon and fights against the government or betrays his/her country, there will be consequences. America has even executed "traitors" in the past and thrown many others in prison. For God's sake, the first man to translate the Bible into English was publicly executed and that wasn't enough but many centuries later another pope had his grave dug up and had his bones burned out of anger, yet these people want the Turks or Iraqi government to appologize to them, and appologize for what exactly? There were tragedies and people died on all sides but the Syriacs that were killed were not killed for being Christian or whatever, but rather for being traitors and for other reasons. It may be a tragedy that people died but it's not something unusual and it was not a genocide either. If 1915 were a genocide against Christians in Anatolia, then the Azeris also suffered a genocide in which over 30,000 of them were murdered by Agha Potros and his klan for simple being Muslims and being availabe to kill. They were all killed. Not just men but women, children, elders and peasants.

So there were tragedies on all sides and not just Christians or Assyrians. The Christians that were killed by the Ottomans were not killed for being Christians but for being traitors and conspiring against their own government. My own great grand father was one of them as he sided with the Russians and he was executed for being a traitor. A few years later my grand father murdered lots of Turks as he was in the military. He even killed women and children and those were his own words. At least he was fortunate enough not to lose his sieblings or mother but only his father. Either way one goes, there were deaths on all sides and all suffered during the time period.
