Armenians I somehow can understand but these Assyrians who bark the most, had almost no deads compared to other people in this area. They probably lost some ten thousand people yet the compare themselves to Armenians, Kurds or other people who had to suffer in this area. And it always these Assyrians from Bagdad etc. Never came across Aramaic speaking Christians from Mardin or Duhok who make such claims.
Assyrians are a waste of space, seriously, the chances of them being former christian Kurds are VERY high, as I have been reading several ottoman era journals written by people that visited Kurdistan and they clearly stated that many of the Kurmanji Kurdish tribes they met had quite a few christian families in them, now it makes sense doesn't it? what happened to these Christians? they can't say that Kurds killed them all, otherwise the same could be said for the Jews and Yazidis that are all still alive today. Clearly the British that were masters at the Divide and conquer approached these Christians and used their religious ties to re-invent the dead Assyrian race and most likely made promises of making them the rulers of a new country, which is why the Levis were mostly of christian origin.
I myself am 25% 'Assyrian' but like I said I don't believe that race exists anymore, my grandmothers family converted to Islam and were pretty much Kurdish for the most part of their life, but they were originally christian and while her family all converted her parents brothers/sisters did not, and so I have quite a few distance Christian family, and some of them are really pro-Kurd and I don't mind them, however some of them that moved to Baghdad are scum and I can't even bare to sit in the same room as them and would not like to associate with them at all. I also have Jewish relatives from my grandfathers side of the family and I love them all, really nice people and genuinely care about Kurds, I'm not fully Kurdish by blood, but I refer to myself as a Kurd only, nothing else.
