Music does say a lot about a culture so why (just) listen to English music? Not to get too political, but it was the British that turned their backs on us Assyrians during WW1 denying us of our own nation! The European powers virtually fed us to the dogs. After leaving Bet-Nahrain (Mesepotamia) they gave every square centimeter to the Arabs! Many Assyrians died and for what?

I challenge all Assyrian teens reading this to spend some time in the HOLOCAUST section of this site! I personally didn't learn of the genocide until a few months ago, my parents rarely, if EVER brought it up! If the genocide is forgotten how will it ever be recognized?

Anyway sorry for rambling on , About music - We Assyrians have amazing Assyrian music. But for some reason, many Assyrians among us ARE hypocrites like "Systemofadown" truthfully stated - there are many Assyrians who simply adore Arabic, and Turkish music - I don't mind that music - it has a nice beat but I don't understand a single word!!! Why adore somthing you don't understand?!

Amongst Assyrian artists, Walter Aziz is my fav. (I'm sure most of you reading this have heard of him.) He's also releasing his new CD (called "Away") and I'm sure that will be a hit with us teens. So instead of buying some English, Arabic, or Turkish album, why not give Walter Aziz a try and join the hundreds of thousands of Assyrian fans worldwide! U WON'T regret it. He's 100x better than Amr Diab or some Turkish singer.

Oh! Check out a very very inspiring video that I just saw!!! It's about Young Assyrians and their Academic accomplishments. go to:

https://www.atour.com/education/20010705a.html

read the article and check out the video. What I saw really really inspired me.

The best we young Assyrians can do at the moment is strive for excellence, what I mean is: be the best citizen you can be whether you're an Assyrian living in Canada, U.S., Sweden, etc. Don't ROT your mind with drugs, sex and other stuff like that - it doesn't promote us Assyrians! Don't just stop at highschool, become part of the intellectual community by getting a diploma in college or a degree in University, the Assrian Nation is in need of Model Assyrians!! And I'm hoping those Model Assyrians will be us one day!! Above all, be involved with your Assyrian culture!! If all Assyrians, and more importantly the younger generation become involved - we will make a difference, improving the state of Assyrians globally, and one day - GOD willing - bring Assyria back!

May GOD bless you all,
Ashour

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.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
