Bri Yeghtsi (11-13th c.), Artsakh, Armenia. Currently occupied by Azerbaijan & under imminent threat as Baku erases Armenian heritage in Nagorno-Karabakh. It faces destruction or cultural appropriation under the false guise of being "Caucasian Albanian."

@Killua_ZX7 Calling Edessa an Arab Emirate is logic as asinine as calling Persia Turkic, just because Turkic dynasties ruled Persia for several centuries. Turkic rulers adopted Persian for administrating Persian lands, & the Abgarids adopted Syriac to rule over Arameans & Assyrians.
@Killua_ZX7@DannoSwo The ruling dynasty may have been Nabatean, but they adopted Syriac for administration and as the language of culture. They also ruled over a largely indigenous Aramean, Assyrian, & Armenian population. The Arameans and Assyrians spoke Syriac dialects.
@IRAQPOTAMIA Wouldn’t the closest living languages to Classical Syriac be Assyrian Northeastern Neo-Aramaic dialects, Jewish Northeastern Neo-Aramaic of Zakho (Lishana Deni) and Turoyo?
@diyako723 Kurds do not have a rich history of anything but savagery. The ARMENIAN Highlands and Bet Nahrain do not belong to you. Your fictional Kurdish-supremacist ethnostate has NEVER existed & will never exist on the ethnically cleansed Armenian & Assyrian lands you squat upon.
@diyako723@TomirisTuran A country called Kurdistan HAS NEVER EXISTED in the entire history of the ARMENIAN Highlands and Bet Nahrain. You people are descendants of nomadic pastoralists and savage bashi-bazouks, far removed from civilization.
@diyako723 Kurds are descendants of génocidaires- nomadic pastoralist bashi-bazouks & Ottoman lapdogs, squatting on ethnically cleansed Armenian & Assyrian lands they stole after committing Genocide against the indigenous Armenians & Assyrians alongside Turks. You lot deserve nothing.
Yet another TwitterKurd who does not know basic and rudimentary knowledge on property rights.
This is getting really embarrassing at this point.
Maybe we should have an online session titled "intro to property rights 101" for all these TwitterKurds who can't seem to grasp the notion.
In these countries, nobody is above the law - not even the king, queen, prime minister, or president. Any country where the law does not apply equally to the ruling family and their associates is a shithole country.
@Killua_ZX7 Syriac did not originate from Arabic. Just because the ruling dynasty was ethnically Arab, does not mean that the people were Arab. Even the Arab ruling class and elite spoke and conducted administration in Syriac.
A "session" of the sham trial of the 🇦🇲hostages has been held in Baku. Former #Artsakh leaders Arkady Ghukasyan and Bako Sahakyan, as well as another hostage, Vasily Beglaryan, have reiterated their innocence. Their "lawyers" petitioned for the hostages' acquittal.
🕊️ For thousands of years, Assyrian Christians (also known as Syriac and Chaldean Christians) have lived in Assyria, our ancestral homeland in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq).
💔 Since 2003, the Assyrians have endured persecution, violence, displacement, and fear.
⚠️ Al-Qaeda in Iraq and later ISIS targeted Assyrian Christian families, churches, towns, and villages because of their faith.
⛪ More than 100 Assyrian, Syriac, and Chaldean churches and monasteries were attacked, damaged, or destroyed.
🕯️ Many innocent people were murdered, kidnapped, or forced to flee their homes.
🏚️ Entire Assyrian Christian towns and villages in the Nineveh Plains were emptied, and countless families lost everything.
📉 Before 2003, Iraq was home to more than 1.5 million Assyrian Christians. Today, only around 150,000 remain, according to many estimates.
✈️ Hundreds of thousands of Assyrians were forced to seek refuge in the United States, Australia, Europe, and neighboring countries.
😔 They did not leave by choice—they fled to survive.
✝️ Despite everything, we continue to preserve our faith, language, identity, and ancient heritage.
🌍 We call on the international community to support lasting protection for the Nineveh Plains, our ancestral homeland.
🙏 Stand with the Assyrian nation. Help us protect our homeland, our people, and our future.

@Abdulrhman17321@IbrahimKaban11 “Kurdistan” has never existed in the entire history of the ARMENIAN Highlands & Bet Nahrain because these lands never belonged to the Kurds to begin with. Kurds were savage nomadic pastoralists far removed from civilization, squatting on land they stole from the indigenous people
@Abdulrhman17321@IbrahimKaban11 Bet Nahrain was never “the land of the Kurds” and it is debatable whether Kurds are the same people as the Medians, who came from the region around Qom and Tehran.
The Assyrian people did not cease existing in their historic homelands, just because the Neo-Assyrian Empire died.
Your statement is utterly inaccurate and completely wrong.
1. Before the formation of the Iraq Levies, the Assyrians of the Hakkari highlands were independent under the leadership of Patriarch Mar Benyamin Shimun. When the Ottoman Empire entered World War I, the Assyrians declared war on the Ottomans in 1915, aligning themselves with the Russian Empire and the Allies.
2. During this period, Independent Assyrian forces in Hakkari did engage in fierce military campaigns against local Kurdish tribes and Ottoman forces, which was natural as they were protecting themselves.
3. Throughout WWI, the Levy forces NEVER existed among the Assyrians. The force was established in 1915 when the British recruited an initial group of some forty mounted Arab tribesmen from around Nasiriyeh in southern Iraq. Only by the end of World War I, the Levy force expanded to over 5,000 people, including Arabs, Kurds, Turcomans, Marsh Arabs, Yazidis, and Assyrians.
4. As far as Agha Petros, he was never present in the Hakkari highlands during World War I in 1915, when the local Assyrian tribes formally declared war on the Ottoman Empire. How do we know that? Because when WWI broke out, Agha Petros was based in Urmia (Persia) where he previously served as a consul at the Ottoman consulate. His military campaigns in 1915 and 1916 were strictly in Iran (Persia).
