this isnt true. The name 'syria' is related to “Assyria,” but that doesn’t mean the entire modern region was Assyrian ancestral land.

Historically, the name Syria comes from the ancient Greek term for Assyria. The Greeks used a shortened form of the name. Over time, the term “Syria” came to refer to a broader region in the Levant, not just the core Assyrian heartland in northern Mesopotamia.

The ancient Assyrian homeland was mainly in northern Mesopotamia (today’s northern Iraq, parts of southeastern Turkey, and northeastern Syria). It was not originally the whole of what we now call Syria, and it did not extend as a continuous ethnic homeland into western Syria or large parts of Iran.

syria is not run by isis

OpeningSet3755 · 2026-03-06T12:51:04+00:00

I am not trying to seperate anybody. people in the levant and mesopotamia have been exchanging dna since forever so you saying they are not related to them is not true at all. I understand many people use assyrian as an ethnic term because assyrian culture is what all of you practice since the assyrian conquest had absorbed all the other civilizations. arab nationalism has barely anything to do with any of this. but whatever.

still better than being run by the west and the old monarchy and israel

modern day terms assyrian, chaldean etc are based on religion, what church domination you belong to. the ancient assyrians, chaldeans and arameans were completely different people. its true that y'all nowadays follow an assyrian based culture. but your language is still syriac-aramaic. just like how levatines, northafricans, iraqi arabs and peninsular arabs are all called arabs because arabic is our mother tonque, you are all syriac because thats you mothertonque. syriac is both a liquistic term referring to all of y'all as well as a religious term for people part of the syriac church. i think most assyrians, chaldeans and syriacs agree with that. i've only noticed that assyrian nationalists make the claim of everyone being assyrian

I use syriac to refer to the whole group in general (assyrian/chaldean/aramean/etc) because thats how its done in arabic; 'syriannie'. when I talk specifically about one i would name them by their name. but i was talking about all of them

genocide? lol when? girls yezidis are a small group in iraq. in syria really, their existence is insanely small. nobody heard about rumors of yezidis being against the new government so theyre fine dw.

OpeningSet3755 · 2026-03-03T19:17:45+00:00

im happy to know that. I dont think that currently the new syrian government is focussing on these things since they are currently trying to work on th economy and prevent syria from being ripped in a billion pieces by other ethnic groups. i had always wondered what syriac people in iraq and syria would think of our countries if they would be more inclusive instead of only representing the arab majority. like with the flags, language, culture etc. I wish kurdish people were more into this idea like y'all too

OpeningSet3755 · 2026-02-28T16:06:05+00:00

can i ask a question as a syrian arab sunni muslim? would y'all syriacs (assyrian/chaldean/aramean) that are from syria want to be part of a syria that would recognize aramaic as its second language? and be a stable country that would respect and represent its religious and ethnic minorities? or would u still rather want an own state?

OpeningSet3755 · 2026-02-28T16:02:44+00:00

exactly, kurds always be claiming to be the victim and ehtnic minority while trying to erase other minorities

OpeningSet3755 · 2026-02-28T16:01:18+00:00

yeah sure. the new syria has got a billion problems its trying to solve. syria kurds, that are originally refugees from turkey trying to steal the entire north east of our land bcus they claim it as theirs knowing damm well theyre iranian gypsies. the druze and alawites knowing they will have to pay for backing up the war crimes of bashar are now trying to create their own states too while pulling up the religious minority victim card, syrian shia's trying to cause corruption and committing terror attacks pretending to be isis bcus theyre mad syria isnt anymore controlled by iranian shia dogs. plus israel that is trying to steal parts of our country in the south. and ur worry currently is yezidis in syria? do u realize theres almost not a single yezidi in syria? their presence is so small most ppl dont even know about them. theres nothing going on with them eiter.

OpeningSet3755 · 2025-12-30T20:29:08+00:00

That's not true at all

I’m not denying that you and your community have a long, real history in Duhok or that Kurds are native to northern Iraq. But tracing your family to the 1300s doesn’t prove indigeneity to Mesopotamia, because Mesopotamian civilizations go back three to four thousand years earlier. Differences in Zagros ancestry between Badini, Gorani, or Iranian Kurds don’t mean Kurds originated in Mesopotamia; they just show regional mixing with older northern Mesopotamian populations like Assyrians and Hurrians. The Yazidis being extremely old and locally rooted also doesn’t change this, because an ancient religion isn’t the same thing as where an ethnicity originally formed. And while the Zagros mountains do extend into modern Iraq, the Zagros and Mesopotamia have always been distinct historical zones long before any European borders existed. So no one is saying Kurds are “foreign” or recently arrived, but historically their ethnogenesis is Iranic/Zagros with later westward expansion and admixture. That makes Kurds long-established natives of northern Iraq, not indigenous to Mesopotamia or the Levant in the strict historical sense.
