Religious Persecution and Ethnic Genocide of Assyrians in the Middle East. | Assyrian Memorial Day: August 7th .
Tuesday, March 2, 2021 at 1:27 PM in Nineveh, Assyria | rwt0 0wnynb 0yllb 1:27 - 6770, 2 rd0 - 0b4b tlt - 0ml4
Genocide is defined as the
deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, religious,
political, or ethnic group. The word, from the Greek genos,
meaning “race,” “nation,” or “tribe,” and the Latin cide, meaning
“killing,” originated
from the tragic events in the Middle East during the end of the
Ottoman empire from 1910 to 1933, which called for a legal concept
to describe the deliberate destruction of large groups.
Holocaust is defined as the deliberate and systematic
destruction by fire of
a racial, religious, political, or ethnic group. The word
derives from the Greek holos, meaning “whole” and kaustos,
meaning “burnt”. Long before the Jewish Holocaust of World War II, Turks and Kurds systematically forced Assyrians into wells filled with kerosene oil and burned them to death , including burning the churches where Christian Assyrians had taken refuge.
Based on historical archives from 1843 to 1945, the Turks, Kurds, Arabs and Persians committed
genocides against the Assyrian nation and other Christian peoples in
Asia Minor [Middle East]. These international
human rights
violations were crimes against humanity and served as
examples for
future atrocities of this manner against the
Jewish people in Europe.
In these genocides, 750,000 indigenous Christian
Assyrians living in their ancestral homelands (known today as the republics of
Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran), including 1½ million Christian
Armenians and 300,000 Hellenes
during World War I were burned, slaughtered, and shot systematically. Defenseless
men, women, children, and the elderly became victims of these
genocides.
Assyria, the land of the indigenous Assyrians ["Our Smallest Ally "], was
partitioned after World War I by the victorious
Allies , and
is currently under occupation by Kurds, Turks, Arabs and Persians.
The Assyrians are a stateless people and continue to be
religiously and ethnically persecuted in the Middle East due to
Islamic fundamentalism, Arabization and Kurdification
policies , leading to
land expropriations and forced emigration to the West.

Speaking at the Lausanne Conference of 1922-23, Lord Curzon said: "In so far as they are now settled with the borders of British influence, they [the Assyrians] are assured of our friendly interest and protection". In the House of Commons, in 1931, Dr. Drummond Shiels, Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, said: "The Assyrians. were a people to whom we were under special obligations". And in 1932 Lord Passfield, Secretary of State for the Colonies, gave assurances that "after the conclusion of any treaty, and after the admission, if it were brought about, of Iraq into the League of Nations, the welfare of the Assyrian people would be a matter of the closest concern of H.M. Government."

Assyrian
\ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)
1: descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur
2: the Assyrians, although representing but one single
nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now
doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically
designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and
distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean,
Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic. These formal
divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.
No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can
distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation
-- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the
western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances
beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial,
virtually into a criterion of nationality.
