🌹IN MEMORIAM OF THE 750,000 ASSYRIAN CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE MARTYRS OF 1915🌹
Over 750,000 Assyrian Christians were massacred during Seyfo (Sayfo) — the “Year of the Sword.” It has now been 111 years since these events. Under Ottoman Turkish rule, entire Christian populations—Assyrians, Armenians, Greeks, and Maronites—were targeted in a campaign of violence that claimed more than 3.5 million lives. 💔
From Urfa, Adana, Diyarbakir, Harput, and Mardin to Tur Abdin, Siirt, Bitlis, Harput, Hakkari, Urmia, the Nineveh Plains, Mosul, Aleppo, and Beirut, ancient Christian homelands were devastated. Villages disappeared, churches were burned, families were torn apart, and countless people were killed or driven into exile. 💔
1914–1923 • 111 years of remembrance
Peak year: 1915
This was not random violence, but the systematic destruction of Christian peoples. ⚔️ Men were executed, women violated, children perished, and entire families were forced on death marches into deserts without food or water. ⛪🔥 Churches were desecrated and clergy were tortured and killed.
More than a century later, Turkey continues to deny these crimes, adding to the pain of the descendants of the victims.
The Syriac Orthodox Church commemorates the Assyrian Genocide on 15 June, while Assyrian organisations commemorate Assyrian Martyrs Day on 7 August.

@michele_geraci russian army troops shot one of my best friend's father in the head in the yard of his house and left the corpse to rot in the street. His crime: the other son served with Mariupol police and police in Mariupol did not want to surrender.
Enough data for you?
✨🕊️I am Izla, an Assyrian Christian, and this is the flag of Assyria — the beloved land where I come from. ❤️🤍💙
Although I was born in the diaspora, far from my ancestral homeland, Assyria has always lived in my heart. I have never seen the land of my ancestors with my own eyes, but I dream of visiting it one day. 🌍🤍
My ancestors endured centuries of hardship and persecution, yet they never lost their faith, language, or identity. Because of their strength and sacrifice, our heritage lives on today. ✝️🕊️
Through the stories of my family, our traditions, and our beautiful language, I know who I am and where I come from. 🫶🏼
No matter where life takes me, I will always remember my roots.
Because Assyria is not only a place on a map — it is a home carried in the hearts of its people. ❤️🤍💙
✨ Assyria lives on through us. ✨

Here's something you probably didn't learn in school.
It's estimated that around 2 to 5 MILLION Europeans were captured as slaves by the Ottomans.
White women were captured and taken into harems and r*ped.
Yet you never hear anything about this horrific slave trade.
Why?
Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi:
“I went to Israel to show that we are the descendants of Cyrus the Great, who 25 centuries ago helped free the Jews from Babylon and helped them rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem — a country that, during the Second World War, gave refuge to Jews escaping the tyranny of Hitler.”
A free Iran will bring back the good relationship we once had with Israel.

Why do Muslims come to our countries and demand we accept multiculturalism? No one asked us and we’re not obligated to. They are uninvited foreigners telling us what to do or we’re racists. Better racist than lose my national identity to outsiders invaders who don’t belong here.
What is going on @elonmusk? Why are the Turkish massive bots allowed to report accounts with a very decent presentation on the platform?
This has been going on non-stop for the past 4 months!
