  • Religious Minorities in Syria: Caught in the Middle
    JOINT SUBCOMMITTEE HEARING COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa TESTIMONY OF NINA SHEA, DIRECTOR HUDSON INSTITUTE’S CENTER FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM June 25, 2013 Religious Minorities in Syria: Caught in the Middle I commend the two Subcommittees for holding this critically important and timely hearing today. The question of the treatment of religious minorities concerns America’s core values as a nation, but, in recent foreign policy, it is one that the United States has too often failed to address, with tragic results. It represents a grave human rights crisis and undermines our national security interests. I am honored to have been invited to testify for the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom. In my testimony, I will focus on the situation of the various Christian groups in Syria, and the threat they face to their continued existence in their ancient homeland. This threat, which undoubtedly applies equally to Syria’s other defenseless and even smaller minorities – such as the Yizidis (80,000) and Jews (under 100) -- about whom there is scant information, is not recognized or understood in US foreign policy. We are grateful to the Subcommittees two chairs, Rep. Christopher H. Smith and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, for giving attention to this issue. In the Middle and Targeted with Ethno-Religious Cleansing In Syria’s conflict, now characterized as overtly sectarian, every religious and ethnic group* has experienced catastrophic loss and pain. Reportedly over the past two years of war, 93,000 combatants and civilians, of diverse religious identities, have been killed, 1.5 million have become refugees, and 4.5 million more have been internally displaced.

  • Rima TÜZÜN We Are Running out of Time. Distinguished Members of the European Parliament, Honourable Chair, Dear Guests, On
    Rima TÜZÜN We are running out of time. Distinguished Members of the European Parliament, honourable Chair, dear guests, on behalf of the European Syriac Union, I would like to thank the EPP for this invitation, for the possibility to make a short speech. First of all, I would like to introduce us very shortly: Syriac people: who are we? Syriacs are known as the Christians from Iraq, from Turkey, from Iran, from Syria. We are only known as the Christians from the Middle East but we are the people who first recognised Christianity, and we are the people who spread Christianity to the world. We are the people speaking the language of Jesus Christ, Aramaic. Before Jesus Christ, our people were known as the Assyrian, the Chaldean, the Aramaic, the Babylonian people. This is very short and is meant to give you an idea of who we are speaking about. I would like to speak about Christianity in the Middle East, not only about the threat we are facing today from ISIS, but really to make the connection between the threat of ISIS, which we are facing now in the Middle East, and the threat it represents for Europe and the whole world. When our people recognised Christianity, they recognised it under every form of oppression. They have been killed, but again they were able to spread Christianity in the world. The more Christianity was spread in the Middle East, the more it was spread worldwide and brought solutions, but the weaker Christianity became in the Middle East, the more the numbers of Christians declined worldwide, and conflicts have not been solved.

Oczywiście daleki jestem do przekładania sytuacji społeczności emigracyjnej, żyjącej od kilku pokoleń w innych warunkach na realia Bliskiego Wschodu. Podajęten przykład tylko dla zobrazowania niejednoznaczności zagadnienia. Alternatywne podejście uznaje Jezydów za Kurdów. Faktem jest, że ich kolebka leży na pograniczu kurdyjsko-arabskim, a oni sami używają języka kurdyjskiego. Co ciekawe jest to dialekt kurmandżi (kurmanji) używany głównie w Bakur (północny, „turecki”

    Volume VI - Issue 25 August 2012 Chairman’s Message Dear readers, The Syriac people have survived many difficulties and dangerous situations in the past 3 months. The Syriac people (the indigenous Christian people in Syria) are being targeted and suppressed by the forces and different powers who are now active in Syria’s political arena. They have no power to pro- tect themselves or any other power to offer them security. Due to the escalation of clashes in Aleppo (the second largest city in Syria) a few Syriac families have been killed. There is also a new trend of kidnapping Syriac people in that area and asking for ransom. When the ransom is not paid, the Syriacs are killed. The Syriac people are living terribly in Syria and are in a panic. That`s why the last few months have seen an increase in emigration. Anyone who can find a way to escape will emigrate. With such terrible living conditions, the Syriac people are struggling for their rights. The Syriac’s passive, peaceful approach has truly led to their slow demise and suffering throughout the last century. Two examples illustrate this. In the genocide of 1914-15, the Syriacs In Turkey, even without any form of defense, sur- vived a genocide and changed the demography of their homeland. Secondly, in the last few years, the suffering of our people in the Iraq war has resulted in blown up churches and murdered innocent victims, including religious leaders. As a result of the war, more than 60 percent of our people emigrated and scattered in the world.

Leur histoire donne aussi lieu, depuis quelques années, à des recherches nouvelles, attentives à l’inscription de ces « communautés chrétiennes » dans leurs contextes. La sortie de l’ère postcoloniale et les crises des États-nations au Proche- Orient ont conféré une légitimité inédite à une approche des sociétés sous l’angle de leurs minorités, partant d’une nouvelle compréhension des notions de « frontières », confessionnelles ou ethniques, et des interactions entre « majorité » et « minorités ». Les contributions du présent dossier portent sur l’Égypte, la Syrie, la Jordanie et la Turquie. Ces études envisagent les chrétiens non pas comme des minoritaires victimes des aléas politiques, mais comme des acteurs participant à la vie politique, intellectuelle et culturelle de leurs sociétés. Elles éclairent les fonctionnements internes des communautés chrétiennes et de leurs institutions qui, loin de s’être fossilisées dans des traditions immuables, aménagent constamment leur rapport à l’histoire et aux langues constitutives de leur identité.
