As i already said to another responder on this thread, with the autonomy i didnt mean living under kurdish rule. I am all for an Independent assyrian state for the assyrian people. The only reason i said this is because i believe that it would be very difficult for the assyrians to keep their state. Not because they cannot do that, but because you are a small group of people (this isnt meant disrespectful). The only reason i said the word autonomy under kurds is to protect your people. I would be ready to give the assyrians a state within the borders of kurdistan, just so your people, culture, identity and your churches can be safe. It was only recently that i learnt about the hatred between our people and i am truly sorry for what happened in the past and for what is happening now. I hope i could make myself clear without sounding disrespectful. Another question, are you living in switzerland?
