  • KDP and Nineveh Plain
    The Kurds and the Future of Nineveh Plain (Little Assyria) Fred Aprim December 7, 2006 It puzzles me how some of our people continue to misunderstand and misinterpret the simplest of behaviors or actions on the parts of Barazani's Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and those few Assyrian individuals who speak on behalf of the Assyrian nation unlawfully. Two simple questions: 1. If Mas'aud Barazani and KDP really mean well towards Assyrians, why marginalize the biggest Assyrian political group by far, i.e., the Assyrian Democratic Movement (ADM) and exclude it from participating in the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) cabinet since the ADM has been in that government since 1992 and won the only elections in northern Iraq that took place in that year. If the KDP means well, why use its influence in order to control the sole Iraqi Central Government seat that is assigned for ChaldoAssyrian Christians by having Fawzi Hariri, a KPD associate, as a minister in it. Why not act democratically and yield to the ADM that won in two national elections of January and December 2005 to fill that position? Why is it so hard to understand that Barazani is doing all this to control the Assyrians' future and cause? 2. Do the five Christian political groups, supported by KDP and its strong man Sargis Aghajan, that call for joining the Nineveh plains to the KRG, namely, a) Assyrian Patriotic Party (APP), b) ChaldoAshur Org. of Kurdistani Communist Party, c) Chaldean Democratic Forum (CDF), d) Chaldean Cultural Association (CCA), and e) Bet Nahrain Democratic Party (BNDP) really think that they will secure the Assyrian rights by simply allowing Barazani to usurp the Nineveh plain without serious guarantees recognized by the Iraqi government and international institutions.

  • Kurds Undermining Assyrian National Interests in Iraq
    Kurds Undermining Assyrian National Interests in Iraq By Fred Aprim Since 2003, the Kurdish leadership has carefully been executing an orchestrated plan to undermine the national rights of the Assyrian people (as an ethnic group and as indigenous people) in Iraq in general and in northern Iraq in particular. The leadership of Barazani and Talabani has undermined and marginalized the true voice of the Assyrian people (also known as Chaldeans and Syriacs) represented in the Assyrian Democratic Movement (ADM) and its legally and constitutionally elected representatives. The Kurdish-ADM relationship has been strained since the ADM's 2003 Baghdad Conference, which came after the fall of Saddam Hussein regime and with the United States promises of freedom to all Iraqi people. Since 1992, the ADM has worked as a partner with the Kurdish leadership of Barazani and Talabani as both sides (Assyrians and Kurds) were struggling against the common oppressive Pan-Arabist regime of Saddam Hussein. However, after the fall of Saddam's regime in 2003, the policy of the Kurdish leadership changed as real changes began to take place in Iraq. The Kurdish leadership did not want to see the Assyrians as an independent entity and force in northern Iraq so as not to compete with the Kurds over the West's attention. The Kurdish leadership did not favor the recommendations and plans of the ADM that were proclaimed in the 2003 Baghdad Conference. First, Barazani and his Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) made sure to divide the one Assyrian people into two or three ethnic factions: Assyrians, Chaldeans and Syriac.

[website] Posted: Friday, March 07, 2008 at 08:05 PM CT Few weeks ago, a friend asked me if I Related Information was going to publish my fourth book and if so, he wondered about the The Untold subject of that book. He added that a Holocaust book on Assyria and the Assyrian situation since the 2003 U.S. 1937: The intervention of Iraq and the fall of Assyrians: A Debt of Saddam Hussein would be of Honour significant interest. Indeed, the last 1935: League of five years have been cluttered, chaotic and devastating for the Nations — The Assyrian Christians (also known as Nestorians, Chaldeans, Syriacs, Settlement of the Suryan and ChaldoAssyrians), but not without a dim hope. Assyrians, a Work of Considering the diminishing population of Assyrians in Iraq (and Humanity and in other Middle Eastern countries) since 2003, their political Appeasement groups were involved in countless political alliances and severances, announcements and official statements and congresses and conferences. However, most of these conferences, alliances and statements were and/are by insignificant groups designed for local consumption. I told my friend that the book project was worthy, but I was not up to that task at this moment in time. Still, I felt that it would be beneficial to list and/or analyze few important topics and events related to the Assyrians and Assyria within that timetable.

Hughes 1 ABSTRACT Voluntary and forced migrations over the past century have given rise to the number of displaced peoples and nations who consider themselves diasporas. The resiliency of these extra-territorial nations after displacement is something of a paradox in nationalism studies. For diaspora, the nation is simultaneously local and transnational, divided and caged by the confines of state borders, often intermixed with other ethnic groups, nations, and cultures, and yet, undeniably, a singular community.

  • Sargis Aghajan: a Saint Or a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing?
    Sargis Aghajan: A Saint or a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing? Published in Zinda Magazine October 23, 2006 With the events unfolding rapidly in northern Iraq (historic Assyria), www.ankawa.com began a series of interviews with Assyrian officials or heads of political groups who are members in the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and/or its parliament. They were all asked the same selected questions dealing with the name issue, the fate of the Assyrian Nineveh Plains region, and the Kurdish constitution. The Interviews On September 28, 2006, ankawa.com interviewed Mr. Sargis Aghajan, a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Minister of Finance in the KRG. Responding to one question, Aghajan stated that the constitution of KRG does not guarantee "our people" (referring to all Syriac-speaking Christians) to govern themselves in their historic lands in the Nineveh Plain. He promised to rectify that. He stated that the constitution divides our people into two groups: "Assyrian and Chaldean" and that was unacceptable. He added that he was with and for the compound name "Chaldean Suryani Assyrian" that guarantees the unity of our people. On September 30, 2006, Aghajan returned and stated to Ishtar TV that our people's rights will be noted within a month in the upcoming amended KRG Constitution. On October 3, 2006, came an interview with Romeo Hakkari, General Secretary of Bet-Nahrain Democratic Party (BNDP) in Iraq, and a member of Kurdish parliament. Hakkari basically reiterated the answers given by Aghajan. He stated that nothing is forever and that the KRG draft constitution could be changed to our benefit in the future.
