 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,” was named after events in Europe in 1933–45
called for a legal concept to describe the deliberate destruction of large
groups.
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
were burned, slaughtered, and shot systematically.
Defenseless men, women, children and the elderly all became victims of
these genocides.
Currently, the Assyrians are
religiously and ethnically persecuted in the Middle East due to Islamic
fundamentalism, Arabization and Kurdification, leading to land expropriations and forced
emigration to the West.
