First of all, you have no right to call Northern Iraq 'kurdistan'. This is an insult to every Assyrian which gave their life to our precious nation. If Northern Iraq is 'kurdistan' then where is Assyria? on the moon?

Yes I agree with you, Iraq was made in England and Syria was mad...

"His royal neck I trod with my foot, like a footstool," -Annals of Tukulit-Ninurta I

----------------------------------------------------------------
The years of war have changed the face of the Old World. Dynasties and Empires have fallen: old freedoms have been reborn: revolutionary systems of government have arisen. But it is probable that, in proportion to its size, no community has undergone trials and upheavals to equal those of the little Nation-Church which bears the name of the Assyrians.

It was late summer 1915. Turkish troops and Kurdish irregulars had sacked and destroyed Qodshanes. The whole Assyrian nation, the mountaineers with their families, was on the run, driven away by heavy Turkish gunfire from their last stand in the Hakkari mountains. Patriarch Mar Shimun marched with one of the columns. The route led over a lofty mountain col from where he caught a glimpse of the plateau of Qodshanes. Mar Shimun stood there and gazed. The last sigh of the patriarch. He said: 'When shall I ever drink the water of my green Qodshanes again?' It was heard by some Assyrian warriors close to him. They broke away from the line of march, they fought all the way against Kurdish ennemies who tried to stop them, and they came back with a can of Qodshanes water for their beloved Mar Shimun.

A moving tale, told by Reverend Wigram in his book The Cradle of Mankind (1922) about the Assyrian nation. Reality was less romantic. Three years later Mar Shimun was shot and his Assyrian people - the Turks called them traitors, since Mar Shimun had declared war on Ottoman Turkey in 1915 - was never allowed to return to the native villages in the Hakkari mountains. Nowadays Qodshanes water makes Kurdish crops grow.
