Christian children praying at their church in Iraq.

In the last 25 years, Iraq’s Assyrian Christian population has fallen from over 2 million to only 100,000. A real genocide.

Even after the horrors of the Islamic State, their faith remains unshaken.

💙🤍❤️ “My name is Ishtar, an Assyrian Christian from the Nineveh Plains—ASSYRIA, our ancestral homeland.

Our ancestors carved these stones thousands of years ago. Our roots are here.

This is our heritage. Our homeland. Our future.

We are Assyrians. We are still here.” 🕊️ 💙🤍❤️

🏛️ **Assyrians are the indigenous peoples of Mesopotamia**, with roots stretching back thousands of years.

Ancient Assyria left a profound mark on the ancient world through its cities, monumental architecture, art, administration, scholarship, and vast written archives. The great libraries and preserved texts of ancient Mesopotamia helped carry knowledge, literature, history, and science across generations. 📜

Yet over the past two decades, conflict, persecution, insecurity, and displacement have forced countless Assyrians to leave lands their families have called home for generations.

But our history should not exist only in museums, monuments, and ancient stones.

**A living people has the right to a living homeland.** 🕊️

Assyrians deserve security, equal rights, recognition of their identity, and the freedom to preserve their language, culture, Christian faith, and heritage.

The Nineveh Plains must remain a place where Assyrians can live with dignity, raise their children, and build their future without fear. Those who were forced to leave should have the right to return safely, if they choose.

We do not ask to take the rights or homeland of another people. **We ask that our own rights, identity, and ancestral connection to this land be respected.**

Mesopotamia is where our civilization took root. We are not merely a chapter of ancient history—we are a **living indigenous people** with a future.

**Our heritage is ancient.**
**Our rights are present.**
**Our future must be protected.**

🕊️ **We are Assyrians. We are still here.**

🇹🇷 Turkey, Give Anatolia’s Ancient Assyrian, Armenian and Greek Place Names Back.

🗺️ Thousands of historic geographical names disappeared from the map through Turkification — it is time to make this cultural heritage visible again.

A geographical name is far more than a word on a sign. It is part of a people’s memory and a region’s history. Ancient names can carry hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of years of history. Yet in Turkey, thousands of historic names of villages, towns, mountains, rivers and other places were changed and replaced with Turkish names.

🏛️ Behind this policy lay a broader nationalist philosophy. Following the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, the new state sought to build a modern and increasingly uniform Turkish nation-state. Language, identity and geography all became part of this process. Place names considered non-Turkish or “foreign” were seen as inconsistent with the new national identity and were replaced with names regarded as more Turkish.

📜 These changes did not happen all at once. Place names were already being changed during the early years of the Republic. An important government directive followed in 1940, and from the 1950s onward the process became increasingly systematic. In 1957, a special commission began working on the large-scale renaming of geographical locations. As a result, many historic Assyrian, Armenian and Greek place names disappeared from Turkey’s official geographical landscape.

👤 The nationalisation of names was not limited to the map. Under the Surname Law of 1934, citizens were required to adopt an official surname. The reform and its accompanying regulations were also part of the drive to construct a new national identity and restricted certain references to other ethnic or national groups. As a result, minority family names were also altered and Turkified, causing part of their historical identity to disappear from official records.

📚 The consequences for historical research can still be felt today. Someone researching the history of Anatolia may encounter a place name in an old book, historical chronicle, archival document or centuries-old text, only to discover that the name can no longer be found on a modern map. The place itself may still exist, but under an entirely different Turkish name.

🔑 An ancient place name is a key to history. When that key disappears from the modern map, part of the past becomes harder to find as well.

This is not only an issue for Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks. It concerns the historical heritage of Anatolia itself — a region whose history stretches back thousands of years, long before the establishment of the modern Republic of Turkey.

🗺️ Turkey does not need to abolish the Turkish names used today. There is a simple solution: officially recognise the historical names alongside the current ones. Make both old and modern names searchable on official maps, in digital registers and historical databases, and, where possible, display the historical names alongside the current names on road and place signs.

Anyone researching this history a hundred years from now should be able to see what a place is called today and what it was called centuries ago.

🏛️ A modern state does not need to erase the past in order to protect its present identity. Restoring the visibility of these ancient names takes nothing away from modern Turkey. On the contrary, it demonstrates a willingness to acknowledge and preserve the full history of the land within its borders.

📢 We therefore call on Turkey to restore Anatolia’s ancient Assyrian, Armenian and Greek place names to the map. Recognising historical names does not change today’s borders — it protects the history that exists within them.

Chaldean Street is a small side street just off Nablus Road, steps from Jerusalem's Old City walls — a name most people walk right past.

It's home to the Chaldean Patriarchal Vicariate and, just down the way, the Syriac Catholic Church of St. Thomas — two small anchors of Eastern Catholic presence in the Holy Land.

Had I known about this street when I was in Jerusalem, I would've loved to visit. Then again, maybe I did walk it without ever knowing what I was passing.

The Assyrian sword dance is more than a tradition it’s a symbol of resilience, courage, and survival. We dance with pride because generations before us fought to preserve our Assyrian identity, our Assyrian Neo-Aramaic language, and our Christian faith.

📚 New Read

I’m looking forward to reading Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian Genocide Recognition in Twenty-First Century Australia: Memory, Identity, and Cooperation by Dr. Themistocles Kritikakos.

This important book explores how Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek Christians have preserved the memory of the atrocities committed against their ancestors and worked together to advocate for recognition, justice, and historical awareness.

🕯️ Between 1914 and 1923, millions of Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek Christians were subjected to mass killings, deportations, and persecution under Ottoman rule. Remembering their suffering honors the victims, preserves historical truth, and helps ensure that such atrocities are never happen again.

🖤🥀 **Week of Assyrian Martyrs Day (7 August)** 🥀🖤
💔 During the week of Assyrian Martyrs Day (7 August), Assyrians around the world commemorate the massacres, persecution, and genocide endured by the Assyrian people throughout history.

📜 **Today, we share information about the Massacres of the Assyrian Christians of Hakkari (1843–1846).**

🕯️🌹 **In Memoriam: 183 Years Since the Beginning of the Massacres of the Assyrian Christians of Hakkari (1843–1846)** 🌹🕯️

On **6 June 1843**, one of the darkest chapters in Assyrian history began.

Just two days earlier, on **4 June 1843**, **Patriarch Mar Shimun XVII Abraham** sent an urgent warning of the imminent danger facing the Assyrian Christian communities of Hakkari. Days later, the first large-scale massacres began, marking the start of years of violence, persecution, and devastation.

Between **1843 and 1846**, the Assyrian Christian communities of Hakkari were subjected to brutal military campaigns led by **Bedir Khan Beg of Bohtan**, in cooperation with **Nurullah Beg of Hakkari** and other regional rulers. The attacks devastated the Assyrian districts of **Tyari, Tkhuma, Baz, Jilu, and Diz**—regions that had, for centuries, been strongholds of Assyrian Christian faith, culture, and identity.

🌹 Villages were burned and destroyed.
✝️ Churches and monasteries were looted and devastated.
📜 Priceless manuscripts and sacred religious treasures were lost forever.
⛓️ Women and children were taken captive.
🕯️ Thousands of Assyrian Christians were massacred.

Historical estimates vary, but most place the death toll between **15,000 and 20,000 victims** during the campaigns of **1843–1846**. Reports from missionaries and foreign diplomats brought international attention to the scale of the atrocities and the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Hakkari.
These massacres were not only a terrible loss of life—they marked a turning point in Assyrian history. The centuries-old autonomy of the Assyrian tribes of Hakkari was shattered, and communities that had survived for generations faced displacement, destruction, and immeasurable suffering.
🌹 Today, 183 years later, we remember.
🌹 We remember the men, women, and children who were killed.
🌹 We remember the villages that vanished.
🌹 We remember the churches and monasteries that were destroyed.
🌹 We remember a people who endured despite persecution, displacement, and suffering.
Their history deserves to be remembered.
Their suffering deserves recognition.
Their legacy lives on.
🕯️🌹 **In memory of the victims of the Hakkari Massacres (1843–1846).** 🌹🕯️
**We Remember. Never Forgotten.**
🌹🕯️✝️🕊️🤍
