Assyrian youg men dance in Hassakeh, Syria

Assyrian youg women and men dance one of the many Assyrian dances that are an important cultural affinity of the Assyrian general culture.

This street dance was organized on Friday, May 25, 2007 two days before the May 27 election date. It was a sort of celebration in support of the president of the republic.

I'm a 2nd generation Assyrian American. I just recently lost both my parents and feel the ties to my Assyrian heritage slipping away. Thanks for this connection to a bit of our culture!

@noobster257 you're probably not aware, but there is ADLS now in Hassakeh with up to 6MBPS, even more in Damascus and Aleppo.

if your house is on hanano st, that probably means our families know each other.

:-) I look forward to it.

I just want to say, that anyone who THINKS of leaving Syria and moving to a Western country is a complete idiot (and I know most of you think like that).

You'll NEVER be able to dance on the street like that in any other country. If I had a choice I would be living in Syria so you should consider yourselves lucky. You may not have a lot of money, but you have spirit. you wont find that same spirit anywhere else
