It seems that this region has always been locked in turmoil. This land that these poor people inhabit is so valuable to so many people, and for all of the wrong reasons. This is the cradle of civilization, and no one seems to be a bit interested in preserving that fact. If it weren't for the original inhabitants of this land, where would we be?

In response to Assyrian Indigenous People posted by mamarobin73:
"cradle of civilisation" is a very subjective notion - depending on your cultural viewpoint this could be any of a hundred places - africa, greece, israel, etc.
even the word "civilisation" is problematic. perhaps if we could all agree on a more inclusive definition of this word, there may be less strife in the world.
this world all in knots.

In response to Assyrian Indigenous People posted by woorama:WHAT?!?! you logged in, took the time to read the article and then came up with this rebuttal? All you got out of this article is to argue over the definition of a word? An entire race of people is being systematically eliminated and this seems to be the world's view on the subject: It's okay, just change your definition of civilization, change your language, change your name, change your religion and then you'll be just fine. The people who are killing you will embrace you with open arms and then we will all be included in their "inclusiveness" What ever your definition of civilization is, it doesn't change the fact that the Assyrians were in those lands before anyone else!
We want the right to be exclusive, just like everybody else. It's a basic human right, to have an identity and a place to call HOME.
