- Deep in Mardin province, Turkey's Syriac minority can finally and legally reclaim ownership to critical parts of its history.
The Turkish state is returning ownership to dozens of Assyrian monasteries, churches and cemeteries. Aadel Haleem travelled to the southeastern province of Mardin, to discover the historical significance of these sites.

God bless Assyrians every where. Long live Assyria. Khaya Atur.
Greetings. I assume that you're a descendant of the Assyrians judging by your profile pic? Could you tell me where can I find more about Assyrian communities nowadays? I want to speak to those people, hear their stories.
@@goshlike76 I’m Assyrian,lots of Assyrians live in San Diego, Detroit ,Chicago, Phoenix, San Jose. Also in Sweden and in the middle east
@@goshlike76 Hello. You can find Assyrians all over the world. Most notably in Chicago, Sweden, Melbourne & Sydney, and a few in Norway. There are many videos online that speak about the Assyrians.
Love and prayers for Assyrian Christian brothers and sisters...from India🙏🙏🙏
I pray to God for the health of Assyrian and Indian brothers and sisters of Christians from Ukraine🙏🙏🙏💗

Assyrians are the true mesopotamian people and belong that region
THANK YOU KANKA 🇹🇷❤️🤍💙
They need to abandon the Jewish god Christ and go back to Ashur - Look how India is powerful keeping their ancient hindu faith but Assyrian accept a weak jewish man as god.
God bless you all my Assyrian Christian and Arminian Greek for ever
The Region is Assyria under turkish Control. Assyria for Ever.
its kurdish
@@stoltkurd0657 please dont wake up!
@@ninveh1 to what wdym. This is in the zagros mountain area and kurds have been living there for centuris even sumerians mentions us and sumerians are kurds
@@stoltkurd0657 sumer is assyria
@@stoltkurd0657 Assyrians were on that land way before than kurds...
It’s good to see that 0.01% of Ottoman Assyrians didn’t leave Anatolia
The same for us greeks they ethically cleansed us and they didnt even do it in times of war...
Look at the istanbul progrom 1955.
Anyways i think its better that we dont have any relationships with the turks anymore thats the only good thing.
Sorry but im curious where do you live? And if you had the chance of returning home would you do it? If it was safe i mean.
ΚακΟς Αδης I live in Australia (born and raised) and if there was an Assyrian uprising, I’d return in a heart beat, and one day, Istanbul will be renamed to Constantinople
@@aghapetros9381 I hope you return home someday.😕
About the Constantinople part.....em thanks no it is not a greek city anymore and it will never be again.
Assyrians were very cruelly treated.
I wish you the best.👋
ΚακΟς Αδης thank you brother , but have hope in Consantinople
@@aghapetros9381 ok.
It's a modern version of the Islamic genocides against the Christians.
But here's a question:
Who at the hell would have a deed to a 1600 years old property? Isn't this insane?
As I mentioned above.
It's a new version of the Othman's genocides against Assyrian - Chistians.
No one can change the past, but we can change the future, ome that will be great for all of us. Tashakur erdim!
That's mor Gabriel monastery. I've been there couple of times. Really beautiful.
СЛАВА ТЕБЕ ГОСПОДИ СЛАВА ТЕБЕ! 🙏🏻☦️
God bless all Assyrian's .
@pluto What are you talking????
Turkey must give the Assyrians thier rights other wise God knows
La Turquie travaille dans ce sens. Certains Assyriens commence à s'installer, c'est un bon départ
@@user-rq8wx3pr8g can you write in English?
Désolée, je ne sais ni lire, ni écrire en anglais.
Turkey already granting rights for Assyrians, providing worship places, promoting culture and linguistic education, helping to rebuild Assyrian villages... Turks will always welcome you. Hope it will be helpful for future generations, we always see Assyrians as our good citizens.
@@alicansunal3487 thank you for your message we all hope so as we were the original citizens of that country
Are there any Assyrians still living in Ashur or Nineveh?
I always feel sympathy and compassion for the Armenians for all the ordeals they went through. Sadly to this day, they are persecuted in Iraq and Syria, yet they bravely fight on to this day.
Never forget the Armenian Genocide of 1915
Viva Hayastan land of the brave, heroes, and culture!
Thy are not Armenians but Assyrians. Different people, different history.
@Heil Hitler I guess you are one of those who claim only the Aramean identity is the true one. Maybe you should inform yourself about the movement that is trying to overcome this sensless and counterproductive division among the dwindling Eastern Christian communities by adopting the name Syriac-Assyrian-Chaldean nation.
@@davorkamatic1349 both went through genocide in 1915 though and are still persecuted in Turkey to this day.
Assyria was the region located in the ancient Near East which, under the Neo-Assyrian Empire, reached from Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) through Asia Minor (modern Turkey) and down through Egypt. The empire began modestly at the city of Ashur (known as Subartu to the Sumerians), located in Mesopotamia north-east of Babylon, where merchants who traded in Anatolia became increasingly wealthy and that affluence allowed for the growth and prosperity of the city.
According to one interpretation of passages in the biblical Book of Genesis, Ashur was founded by a man named Ashur son of Shem, son of Noah, after the Great Flood, who then went on to found the other important Assyrian cities. A more likely account is that the city was named Ashur after the deity of that name sometime in the 3rd millennium BCE; the same god's name is the origin for 'Assyria'. The biblical version of the origin of Ashur appears later in the historical record (Genesis is dated to c. 1450 BCE at the earliest, 5th century BCE latest) and seems to have been adopted by the Assyrians after they had accepted Christianity. This version, therefore, is thought to be a re-interpretation of their early history more in keeping with their newly-adopted belief system.
May GOD bless and protect all believers of entire middle East countries. War criminals , terrorists are persecuting Christians on these regions , though these regions were dominated by Christianity since 2000 years, that too in majority till few centuries ago. Live example is Genocide of 1.5 millions of Armenians by Turks , group of Islamic wat criminals. Hagia Sophia cathedral converted as Mosque .
Monsieur numéro 7988 arrêtez d'incriminer les Ottoman de tous les crimes de la terre. Étiez vous présent durant les faits ceux qui accuse les Ottoman sont souvent eux les plus grands criminels.

Are Assyrian and Syrians same people
red rose no not at all
Assyrian are the original Christians of Syria Iraq and turkey
@@tree3y763 I'm not familiar middle east ethnic groups are they related to Arabs or turkey?
Professional Hacker no not at all they were the people who arrived in Iraq and northern Syria before the Arabs were ever there
The are not related to them at all
The world's first civilization called Sumer was succeeded by a new state called Akkadia. The Akkads eventually became 2 new states, Assyria in the north, and Babylon in the south. The Assyrians were in conflict for centuries with the ancestors of the Armenians called the Urartians, which the Urartians was heavily influenced by them. The Assyrians actually (atleast the northern ones) have a considerably much more genetic affinity to the Armenians rather than the Arabs surprisingly. Eventually, from the east in the 6th century B.C. after numerous wars weakening each other, Urartu and Assyria weakened itself against the Medes (modern Kurds) and Scythians (Indo-Iranians, which are modern Ossetians). Media conquered Assyria and Babylon, and was succeeded by the first Persian Empire (Media didn't last long). The Persians retranslated Urartu into Armenia in their trilingual Bihustion Inscription, and had satraps (a satrapy was a government system for each territory of an ethnic group under the Persian or Greek empire) for every ethnic group to rule it's own territory which included both Armenia and Assyria. Eventually Alexander the Great conquered the Achaemenid empire and had it's own satrapys for each region. Afterwards the empire collapsed and Assyria never returned in history, and eventually Islam became the peoples of the Arabian Peninsulas (modern Saudi Arabia) religion. A new form of Arabification happened, and the indigenous peoples of once Babylon and Assyria began to consider themselves by the new term of Arab in Mesopotamia, kinda like Turkic people and Anatolians. The Assyrians you see today are survivors of an ancient identity, and when the British held on to the Middle East about a century ago, they began to label and border. Syria was created after the Assyrian race, a land for Christian minorities to be held safe, which failed because it was overrun of Muslim Arabs who continued with the label Syria. The whole Middle East is messed up with ethnic groups being where they don't belong, but hope that helps. Oh, and the reason Iraqis or Syrians are much more white than the Saudis is because of being converted, they arent pure Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula but rather have more Mesopotamian roots. The Syrian race is considered the homeland of the Phoenecians (and Jordan/Lebanon), but calling someone Syrian is like calling someone Russian (you can be a Slav, Armenians, Tatar, Uzbek, heck even black in Russia).
@@professionalhacker2834 remember calling someone Turk or Arab is most likely an identity outside of their homelands (Mongolia/ Siberia for Turkics or Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman for Arabs), think of it this way, when people were assimilated by the Spanish they began to call themselves Hispanic (but lots of Hispanics have more Native American roots then Spanish) so Arab is an identity most of the time. I see it this way, the further you are from the Arabian Peninsula, the lesser Arab Gene's you actually carry, like someone could call themself Arab in Egypt, either because they speak the language or cultural assimilation, but they cannot logically be 100% Arab because their was the Indigenous Egyptians who were in the land before Arabs.
Alle sind Aramäer, ob Assyrer, Syryoyo oder Chaldeär. Aramäer über alles.
Aramäer, Aramäer, Aramäer Aramäer Aramäer Aramäer Aramäer Aramäer Aramäer Aramäer Aramäer Aramäer
Dann ist dein Land nicht in Bethnahrin und Nordiraq sondern in Jordanien. Es gibt kein einziges Aramäisches Fund oder kurdisches in der Ninive Ebene. Wenn du ein Aramäer bist dann bist du genau das was dich die Kurden haben wollen, nämlich einer der kein Recht auf Land hat (wo sie selbst eins haben wollen), deshalb geben sie uns den Namen Aramäer. Aber jeder weiß wir sind die ASURI. Armenier nennen uns ASURI Perser nennen uns ASURI. Araber nennen uns ASHURI. Und wir nennen uns ASHURAYE ATHURAYE.
Lasst euch nicht von dennen hinters Licht führen liebe Assyrer. Damit nehmen sie uns das Land weg was unseren Großvätern gehört.
Arameans don’t exist anymore, sorry boo

They are not Assyrians, they are Syriac Arameans. But they are related to the Assyrians of course.
Your ignorant
Is it possible to restore this area to its previous inhabitants? Assyrians have lived there since before anyone else there. Clearly giving the kurds the land didn’t work out. Kick them out bring back the Assyrians, give reparations and lets begin to build turkey back to its glory together. Have the Christian working along side the turks

Historically they are , sus fazla bok yeme
Literally 40% to 50% of the Syriac orthodox members identify as Assyrian. Not everyone in the church identify as Aramean.
We are not Assyriens Therese is an Assyrien lie We are now and never Assyriens Assyriens Exist only in Iran . Turkey , Irak , Kuwait , Syria , Lebanon this the Native Land from Aramaec.

Historian, scholarly sources, photographic evidence are all supporting that a Genocide existed, and the Turkish government isn't speaking about it. Please for once search "Armenian Genocide," and after seeing the images, and not believing in it... your a damn joke.
Ancient Assyrian does not exist anymore. This is Kurdish clothing. These people are Arameans. This is not the culture of the Aramean and Semitic people. These Aramaic-speaking immigrants who speak Aramaic were brought to Iraq by the British. Those villages and towns in Iraq do not belong to them. The Aram kingdom invaded Anatolia hundreds of years ago. The language of Aramaic also became the language of Christianity in the Middle East. Any Aramaic speakers, regardless of ethnicity (Turks, Kurds, Armenians, Arabs), assimilated with these people.
Who hurt your feelings?
