ASSYRIAN ONE NAME

ASSYRIA WITH ONE NAME ( ASSYRIAN )

It is very difficult being Assyrian today. The West insists that we are Christians, and others call us “Chaldeans”, “Syric”, or whatever else they like. Assyrians were not just born, we have over 6000 years of history, as well as being one of the first (if not the first) nation to embrace Christianity. Today, I am joyful; the nation just elected the new Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East: his grace Mar Gewargis Sliwa III, Catholicos. Now, let me put a stop to this madness – it is true that the majority of Assyrians are Christian nowadays, but there are Assyrians of other faiths as well. We do not call all Iranians Muslims because not all Iranians are Muslim; there are Iranian Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and so on. So we are the Assyrian nation, sons and daughters of Ashur, as well as the indigenous people of Iraq. We do not have other names. United States, please don't spend your money training Kurds and Syrian fighters. You've spent millions to get four or five fighters who have no cause to be fighting ISIS. They are Muslim and therefore want the same thing that ISIS does. If you really want to help stop ISIS then help the Assyrian troops. They are being killed and raped; they are the only ones who are going to fight for you. Can't you see the genocide against the Assyrians? Is this what the West wants for them? Is this the reason ISIS was created – solely to annihilate the Assyrians from the Middle East? Whose plan is this, the US' or the Jews', or both? We will never die, we will fight for the last drop of blood. Long live the Assyrian Nation and the Assyrian people
