Thank you Turkey, I am half Armenian half Assyrian from Mardin, we are very thankful for all the improvements and we want to live in peace in Turkiye. Dont listen to negative people from the diaspora.
We Assyrians must return to our homeland, a project must be started, we do not have much longer here in Europe, our identity can only continue to exist in our homeland.
At the same, what happened to us Assyrians, how our rights were challenges with oppressive campaigns, our properties and wealth stolen and never given back and reparated are still issues not responded, ignored and rejected by the Turkish authorities in as well for Syrians, Iraqi and Iranian authorities. However, today we are moving forwards, towards a dialogue, coexistence in a place where we have little say or capacity to anchor and protect our heritage, language and practices. We are proud to be speaking all the languages, being polyglots in many cases for Assyrians, but we need authorities hand in hand consolidating our rights to be able to exist and cohabit. Assyrians are still being threatened now with the Syrian situation.
It’s worth mentioning that today, the Assyrians in northern Iraq face challenges, wether in the limitations of their movements in Assyrian dominated towns and villages (eg: Alqosh, Nalha, etc), facing at the same time land grabbing legalized by the Kurdish court (eg: Badarash; Zakho région, etc), face constant sexualization and sexual harassment of Assyrian women by Kurdish individuals with a lack of awareness and education, the lack of subventions for Assyrian-speaking schools with constant pressure from k her dish authorities to shift to a fully Kurdish-speaking schools instead, Assyrian schools are continuously moved from one place to another in deteriorated infrastructure (eg: Bahra school), Assyrian schools have Kurdish military propaganda painted on their walls with military offices and guns.
An amazing film. As a Brit, I first visited Turkey in 1996. Returning for two holidays this year, I have been amazed at the progress of your beautiful country. The natural beauty and incredible history is astonishing, but it is your people that makes it so special. I am looking forward to visiting Istanbul in January 2025.
What a selective approach regarding minorities represented in the film. What about Armenians and minority struggles, forced Islamisation in the Ottoman Empire and beyond?
Ottoman empire had never forced islamisation like christians did in America, Africa and Australia... They never forced to speak turkish either. Look Africa, they all speaks french and they are all christians (after being slaves).
@@0marginal0 Ottoman Empire had almost 2 million slaves and whoever couldn't pay tax they would take away their children and recruit them and convert them into Muslims and Ottoman soldiers. Ottomans charged non-Christians a so-called tax. Look at the Balkan region, and half of the Middle East, where a lot of Muslim converts live.
@@milutinmilosevic58 first half is a complete lie. For the second part the same thing still exists today. It was not specified to minorities anyone who wanted to be exempted from army duty pays it even today. Christians, jews usually chose to pay it as a tax. And there are clear records of these taxes which are completely different from colonial propaganda. Idk how people see the eu colonial powers any differently than russia or china. They have been at this propaganda game for far longer than those two and they are the masters of manipulation and lies
You mean like the forced christianification we see everywhere today? Cause all the rest is actually a political propaganda lie from western lobbies. I shouldnt really expected any integrity or truth from the 'strongest supporters' of armageddon cult Zs

Rich comment with insightful information. Thank you for sharing. It is worth mentioning that identifying people as Nestorian is pejorative. This word tend to be used for naming simplicity, however, they should be identified as Christians of the Church of the East (which is today still alive and named as such Church of the East - or sometimes the Assyrian church of the East)
@@Ashr-hv8xy Thank you for pointing out, I'm just an irreligious layman. Historians keep using Nestorian though so unless church itself makes a formal warning declaration there is nothing to be done.
The Quran says there is no compulsion in religion. Those opposing freedom of religion among muslims are ignorant and influenced by politics.While Islam does not separate the state and religion, Islam does not change its teachings in the name of politics. Politics have to follow Islam.
Wherever people go always remember to coexist peacefully with one another and teach your children to live in peace, not to take revenge and disregard hatred to others no matter what their religion and race they belong. LET GO AND LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH ONE ANOTHER OR LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.
@ exchanged as it was agreed in Lausanne. The Greeks of Imvros, Tenedos and Instanbul were excluded from the population exchange, so where are they today?
Being a Pashtun by ethnicity and language, I was surprised listening to one of the Syriac priests, who was talking about the no of daily prayers in his religion, and noticing him uttering the words, "har kas" which has exactly the same meaning in my language Pashto, i.e., "everybody".
Har kas is borrowed from Kurdish, many build on their shared knowledge to establish a grey zone of commonalities between different cultures, otherwise we usually say kul/kut nasha/noshe in Assyrian (Syriac)
@@Ashr-hv8xy Thanks for the input. Now I see. Actually, both Kurdish and Pashto are Iranian languages (Kurdish is West Iranian, Pashto, East Iranian) and that may be the reason for the commonality. I thought, it was a Turkish utterance.
You know the other fun fact..most of it migrated to Europe, and also do you know about the Greek Turkish population exchange of 1923 in which 1.5 million Greek christians were transferred to Greece. Other reason is obvious concerning the frustration of WW1, Turkiye's defeat might have resulted in deaths of armenians and their mass migration.
1923 Turkiye's population was less then 10 million. (~8.700.000) . At the 1923 Turkiye- Greece population exchange details: 1.050.000 Turkopol 150.000+ Rum/Hellas total 1.200.000 Orthodox Christians advocated from Turkiye. S9 where did you get your data? Or who "produced that" theory/manipulation what you telling. !? There is math and records from both sides. State and Church records even international agreement alt/sub records.
@propheticadmirer1701 Hellas left Turkiye before İstanbul conquered by Turks. You have no knowlage but has opinion. 1923's Ortodoks Cristian population was total 1 250.000. 1.050.000 of it Turkopol (Cristian Turks). 200K was Rum and multi etnic Hellas included. Source: Papa Efdim and Fener Ortodox Church letters about on the exchange population. You are totally wrong about subject. Also Armenians d8d not left Ottoman lands. Turks relocate Armenians and Turks , Kurds for spread them from eachother for "temporarily ". But, Ottoman lost wars and lost lands. So colonist France, UK, Russia took peaces from the Ottoman cake. Cake was Christian, Armenian cream on. It's the basic explanation for the youtube kids! Want more ? Just you have to read Armenian first Prime Minister Hovhannes Kajaznuni's book "There is nothing to do anymore ". Turks are victim! Med8a, Politicians and Priests were work8ng as today: they were living to their own people. They made genocide on Turks but they said Turks made genocide others. Lets ask hiw many Turks, Kurds killed by Christian alliance (UK, France,Russia, USA,Itally,Vatican, Soyonist Diaspora, Belgium, Serb, Greece, Arabians, Durzi, Persia etc? You were killed by Turks but Turks death buy themselves from heart attack as in Gaza Today? How millions of Turks death 1910-1923 ?? Your murderers said lie to you. They killed millions of Turks, M7slims even Cristians what they ignored to be traitor batraye to their state *Ottomam Devlet i Aliyye.
Please do one on Alevi's next and how since the ottoman period we have been killed and hated and how people today deny how we were/are treated whenever we bring up concerns or history. The Alevi-Turkmen people have suffered greatly in Turkiye and also by our other kin during our periods in hordes.
Yes, yes, we, the minorities, are very happy in Turkey. There is no discrimination! We hold high-level positions in the army, we can become high-level state administrators such as governors and judges. Then our churches are very safe, so safe that the police who used to wait at the door only on Sundays are now there every day of the week. 😂Nobody enters the church and says Allahu Akbar, or interrupts the service. For example, nobody is bothered by our Christmas trees during Christmas! They don't burn our Christmas tree! 🙃Or nobody calls us "infidels". Imams don't preach against us, on the contrary, they say go and ask how we are. More importantly, Turks accept that our ancestors have been around for thousands of years and don't treat us like foreigners 🥲. Turks who converted to Christianity later are much happier. Their families support them and they are still seen as Turks by other Turks 😅. Here you go, Turkey in the virtual world. Or rather, the Türkiye that Muslim Turks think of.
We, christians never did a genocide in America and stoled all the ressources of this continent... we christians never massacred stoled the ressources (for being rich countries) and slaved africans... In fact we are living in rich countries with good infrastructures because we are more intelligent than others... We bring democracy to poor countries. We attacked Iraq because they had mass destructions weapons and we never raped women... We never used mass destruction weapon in Japan because we are peacefull... We have nothing to owe to the rest of the world. 😅😂😂😂

Western countries are where the propaganda shines you know. Imagine lying about so many things about those events in 1915 for a century. Did you know turkey has been asking for an international scientific team to search and establish facts about those claims? Almost every president who was asked questions about that topic asked for an international scientific team research into the matter which was denied by colonial lobbies every time. Israel denies such attempts btw i mean it will never allow an international organization to establish facts about palestinians for example or other colonial govs always deny international organizations such attempts for their crimes in africa unless they are ready to face the facts ofc. Imagine destroying a country which stood for nearly 600 years with inciting different ethnicities making them k.. each other and while destroying many of its cities. And then blaming its people with the crimes you yourselves committed. Actually its exactly like how those israelis or Zs act. Number of turkish civilian casualties was put around 3 to 5 million. And total armenian population in the ottomans at that time was nowhere even close to the number in those claims. It's scary how people in the west are okey with being raised by such a heavy propaganda driven education. In that regard you didnt move forward one step from the middle ages
When the nonsense of Islamophobia disappears from the world, when Muslims can worship freely, Hagia Sophia will become a church. This is in your hands. You do not respect other religions as much as Turkey and Muslims do. Make the world equal for all religions, let's restore Hagia Sophia to its former state. Remember, this is a reaction, Turkey is a Muslim country with the most mosques in the world. The last place to go to worship is Hagia Sophia. Islamophobia-free, free Muslims and a free Hagia Sophia. ;)
Hindu spotted! Why do you gyz always wish to toxify everywhere like the poor country you belong to. You don't know what Hağia Sophia is?, a mosque. It was reconverted to mosque from a museum. Before being a museum it was a mosque since the time of Sultan Mehmet Fatih. There were no christian objection to it historically since the time it was handed over to Sultan Fatih, the conqueror of Constantinople. There are no roman catholic christians living in istanbul. So it's not like how you gyz do, takeover active mosques in your country.
I love what Turkey are doing. Inclusiveity it creates a peaceful living for the communities. What a great example for the rest of the world. I wish to travel to turkey in the future and see their fantastic history.

Just a question you said that the Assyrians merchants came up from the 2 rivers Anatole 1 what year was this 2 was there Turks 3 what about the Armenians bcs the real name of Anatole is ARMENIAN PLATAUX
1. This was around 2000-1700 BC, see for example the Assyrian trading colony in Kültepe (Kanesh), near modern Kayseri. 2. In this period there were no Turks present in Anatolia yet. Turks arrived at least 3000 years later in Anatolia. 3. The location of the Assyrian trading colonies in central Anatolia (near modern Kayseri) are not located in areas traditionally considered Armenian. Armenian original geography was located more eastwards, in what would become known as Urartu.
I am a Kurd, Armenian President Pashinyan said there was no Genocide. Armenians who collaborated with Russia started an uprising in the Ottoman Empire and caused a civil war. In order to prevent this, the Ottoman Empire exiled Armenians whom it saw as citizens for 500 years. There are 20 million Kurds in Turkey and we live in peace, now Israel and the US are doing the same through us. To cause a civil war by inciting the Kurds in Turkey to revolt. We Kurds will never allow this. We are not anyone's puppets. You should stop believing in nonsense.

You haven't mentioned the millions of Greeks and Armenians that were slaughtered last century in what is now Turkey. Those souls are waiting for justice and it is coming soon. Don't show Turkey as a nation that respects minorities because it is not. If you go to the occupied area of Cyprus you will see animals in our churches and anything that was Greek is totally ruined.
Not only the greeks and Armenians got slaughtered 1915 brother, also the christian Assyrians/Syriacs mentioned in the video. How come there is only 20 000 assyrians/syriacs left in turkey when we have churches from the beginning of christianity there😂 this is turkish propaganda brother and Im Assyrian christian orthodox.
Good, now tell us why Turkey invaded Cyprus. You have only your side in this story right? Could you explain us that why EOKA/ENOSİS terrorists tried to ethnic cleansing on Turks in the island? They were trying to kill Turks and unite with Greece. Turkiye just made you remember your place. Pray for that Turkey didn't take all of the island.
The Assyrians shown in the video are western Assyrians also known as Syrian Orthodox, they speak and write western Syriac, while Eastern Assyrians who do not have a presence in the region due to the Genocide 1915-1918 speak and write Eastern Assyrian. There are among the Syrian Orthodox those who admit their Assyrian roots while others specially those from the Middle-East deny their Assyrian roots and claim that they are Arameans but that denial is their problem. Assyrians of the Church of The East who preserved their ancient identity and lineage are called in Turkish Ashurlar/ Assurlar while the Syrian Orthodox church denomination is referred to as Suryanlar.
There is a difference between the Assyrians and the Syriacs. The Assyrians disappeared historically like the Pharaohs and the Hittites. As for those who claim to be or call themselves Assyrians they are actually Syriacs origin but why do they deny their origin? The Syriacs live In Southeastern province of Turkiya, in Iran West Azerbaijan province, in Northern Syria and in North Iraq and Mosul... Btw the regions of Northern Syria(Aleppo, Qamishli and Raqqa provinces) and Northern Iraq and Mosul were part of Turkiya but Britain did not want to hand over these regions after WW 1 because of the Oil and the Oil Era began after WW 1.. Britain also made a demographic change in Northern Iraq by bringing the Kurds from Iran to northern Iraq. For example, the city of Erbil was part of Mosul or Nineveh province and the majority population of Erbil city was Syriacs, Arabs and Turkmen after WW 1 and the Kurds in all North Iraq and in all Iraq in general were less than 100 - 50 thousand and Iraq population was 3 million at that time i think.. The Kurds in Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and the southeastern province of Turkiya are Kurds from the era of Saladin.. As for the Kurds in the southern province of Turkiya, they are Kurds from the era of the Kurd Zand dynasty that ruled Iran
This is a very biased position lacking historical references and contextual understanding. Forcing Assyrians to identify by their Syriac cultural heritage and inputs to deny their indigenous Assyrian identity is attacking and harming their fight for cultural preservation and respect.
You're simply spreading misinformation. Historically the Syriac (Suryoye orthodox) have always claimed descent from the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians. Based on geography and language (Aramaic). Mor Jacob of Edessa wrote that our ancestors founded the most powerful kingdoms of their times. Mor Dionysus of Tell Mahre clearly says that the Suryoye east of the Euphrates had many kings from Assyria and Babylon. Mor Michael Rabo quoted both Mor Dionysus and Mor Jacob of Edessa. In addition to that the anonymous Syriac Orthodox chronicle of 1234 also quotes our previous scholars claiming Assyrian heritage.
‘Syriac’ puts more emphasis on the Christian identity of the Assyrians, while ‘Assyrian’ emphasises the nationalistic, geographic and historic belonging of the Assyrians. ‘Aramean’ is also used to refer to the Assyrians, and emphasises the Aramaic linguistic identity of the Assyrians, which are speakers of modern Mesopotamian dialects of Aramaic. ‘Assyrian’ constitutes the all-embracing identity of the people also known as Syriacs or Arameans.
@suryoyegabore6043 You add nothing to what I said. I haven't even denied that Aramean hasn't been used by our scholars as a self designation. I have nothing against the name Aramean. I'm proud of all our names. However to those who say that we're not Assyrians, they should know that our church fathers since Mor Jacob of Edessa till the anonymous Syriac Orthodox author of the 1234 chronicle proudly acknowledged their Assyrian heritage.
The reporters responsible for this program have no right to call the Christian population of Turkey other than Arameans or Syriacs, neither in the text translation nor in speech. As can be seen in the program, the reporter has used the name Assyrians, which is completely wrong for this Christian minority. In the future, these names Arameans and Syriacs must be used for the people and language.
Those who today call themselves Assyrians have no connection with the ancient Assyrians who were wiped out in the 7th century BC. Those who use this name are not real Assyrians, they are a group of the Aramaic people and the Syriac Church. This is historical fact. The perception of people must change.
One of the biggest mistakes of the Ottomans was the Genocide 1915-1918 against the Christians of different churches, and they employed some tribes that participated in the Genocide. Today, Turks are living the consequences of that aweful act in south east Turkey, the Hakkari region where the Assyrians, the Syrian Orthodox and Armenians lived in addition to the Greeks who were also subjected to Genocide in their areas
Yes yes... this fake genocide again... Explain me why my grand uncle was killed savagely with all others villagers by armenians... It was a genocide against turks commited by armenians when ottoman troops were fighting against russians in east front.
True Ottoman period was ended by overthrown of Sultan Abdul Hamid 2 in 1908. Armenian genocide was executed by Pasha/Kamal regime in the spirit of dividing,destroing,revenging Ottoman unity/land.Most of the leaders of then party was freemason/Crypto **ws.
Stop using the word "genocide" casually. Genocide is the greatest crime that can be committed against humanity and the crime is determined by the courts, not by senators or historians. If it is thought that the Ottomans committed genocide, international courts should be taken and the criminals should be revealed and announced to the whole world, compensation should be paid to the victims, etc. If this is not done, think about why those who say the crime was committed do not file a lawsuit, maybe the facts are not as you think.
@@metalhayalc The word is Genocide, there is no other word for it and it was committed by the Ottomans and Kurds. Turkey today is part of the same western countries which allowed the Genocide to take place, that is the U.S., France, Germany, Britain/England so you think that they will condemn that act of Genocide ? When over 750.000 Assyrians (with their different church denominations) lose their lives in a region (Hakkari) while they were targetted as a millet which was supposed to be protected by the Ottoman Sultan and government, then it is Genocide. When their villages and lands are almost all today in the hands of Kurds, then it is Genocide. The world accepted the Armenian Genocide which took place at the same time, but officially the Assyrian Genocide is covered up and no one wants to talk about it so how do you expect the Assyrians to have justice ?
😅 Islam is the best religion. Continue to worshiping a cow my hindu friend 😂. You mentionned 1955 as 'polgrom'... why not mentioning the massacre of turks in Chyprus in the sixties ?
@genveon0 if you forcibly occupy someone's property you can't expect them to worship or garland you the response should have been more brutal for turkish people
Stfu and change the record. Greeks and Armenians were responsible for death of millions of Turks while siding with the British, Russians, French and Italy. You can’t cry victim by hitting first!
Nice documentary but it feels like im watching propaganda, especially coming from TRT. Turkiye has never so good to minorities not even during the ottoman period
🎊 Almighty is one entity named differently. Look how ? ■ All Religion thoughts about Him will be quoted here now viz. Bible, Quoran, Bhagvad Geeta. ● Gods of different religions are the same super power or call Him Almighty. You can see what they say about the Almighty. ✝️ ● Holy Bible - Psalm 24 : The earth and everything that exists belongs to God. All those living in the world belong to God. 🕉 ● Upanishad - Ishavasya Upanishad - verse 1 : This world is the home to the Lord Isha and everything that dwells is his property. Geeta - Lord Krishna says He created this world. ☪️ ● Holy Quoran fusaliyat 2.29 : It is He who created for you all of that which is on the earth.

It's 99 percent muslims. Which freedom is curtailed to other religions. Have you ever stepped in Türkiye.
What they can't do tell me
What freedom you want ?
The Quran says there is no compulsion in religion. Those opposing freedom of religion among muslims are ignorant and influenced by politics.While Islam does not separate the state and religion, Islam does not change its teachings in the name of politics. Politics have to follow Islam.
Western zionists need to learn this.
I hope we see more of our people moving back. Foreigners out, natives in!
Wherever people go always remember to coexist peacefully with one another and teach your children to live in peace, not to take revenge and disregard hatred to others no matter what their religion and race they belong. LET GO AND LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH ONE ANOTHER OR LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.
what if its a message from God
Where are the Greeks of Imvros, Tenedos & Instanbul TRT?
Where are Turks of Selanik and Girit?
@ exchanged as it was agreed in Lausanne. The Greeks of Imvros, Tenedos and Instanbul were excluded from the population exchange, so where are they today?
Being a Pashtun by ethnicity and language, I was surprised listening to one of the Syriac priests, who was talking about the no of daily prayers in his religion, and noticing him uttering the words, "har kas" which has exactly the same meaning in my language Pashto, i.e., "everybody".
Har kas is borrowed from Kurdish, many build on their shared knowledge to establish a grey zone of commonalities between different cultures, otherwise we usually say kul/kut nasha/noshe in Assyrian (Syriac)
@@Ashr-hv8xy Thanks for the input. Now I see. Actually, both Kurdish and Pashto are Iranian languages (Kurdish is West Iranian, Pashto, East Iranian) and that may be the reason for the commonality. I thought, it was a Turkish utterance.
@@Ashr-hv8xy not kurdish its farsi

Interesting and educational documentary
Fun fact before WWI 20% of Turkey's population was Christian denominations. Today? About 0.5% - 1.00%.
LOL definitely not close to 0.5-1% more like 0.2% including other religious groups like Judaism.
You know the other fun fact..most of it migrated to Europe, and also do you know about the Greek Turkish population exchange of 1923 in which 1.5 million Greek christians were transferred to Greece. Other reason is obvious concerning the frustration of WW1, Turkiye's defeat might have resulted in deaths of armenians and their mass migration.
It was not a migration my dear. It was a Genocide of mostly Christian population.
1923 Turkiye's population was less then 10 million. (~8.700.000) .
At the 1923 Turkiye- Greece population exchange details: 1.050.000 Turkopol
150.000+ Rum/Hellas total 1.200.000 Orthodox Christians advocated from Turkiye.
S9 where did you get your data? Or who "produced that" theory/manipulation what you telling. !?
There is math and records from both sides. State and Church records even international agreement alt/sub records.
@propheticadmirer1701 Hellas left Turkiye before İstanbul conquered by Turks. You have no knowlage but has opinion.
1923's Ortodoks Cristian population was total 1 250.000. 1.050.000 of it Turkopol (Cristian Turks). 200K was Rum and multi etnic Hellas included.
Source: Papa Efdim and Fener Ortodox Church letters about on the exchange population. You are totally wrong about subject.
Also Armenians d8d not left Ottoman lands. Turks relocate Armenians and Turks , Kurds for spread them from eachother for "temporarily ". But, Ottoman lost wars and lost lands.
So colonist France, UK, Russia took peaces from the Ottoman cake. Cake was Christian, Armenian cream on. It's the basic explanation for the youtube kids! Want more ? Just you have to read Armenian first Prime Minister Hovhannes Kajaznuni's book "There is nothing to do anymore ".
Turks are victim! Med8a, Politicians and Priests were work8ng as today: they were living to their own people. They made genocide on Turks but they said Turks made genocide others. Lets ask hiw many Turks, Kurds killed by Christian alliance (UK, France,Russia, USA,Itally,Vatican, Soyonist Diaspora, Belgium, Serb, Greece, Arabians, Durzi, Persia etc? You were killed by Turks but Turks death buy themselves from heart attack as in Gaza Today? How millions of Turks death 1910-1923 ?? Your murderers said lie to you. They killed millions of Turks, M7slims even Cristians what they ignored to be traitor batraye to their state *Ottomam Devlet i Aliyye.

Yes, yes, we, the minorities, are very happy in Turkey. There is no discrimination! We hold high-level positions in the army, we can become high-level state administrators such as governors and judges. Then our churches are very safe, so safe that the police who used to wait at the door only on Sundays are now there every day of the week. 😂Nobody enters the church and says Allahu Akbar, or interrupts the service. For example, nobody is bothered by our Christmas trees during Christmas! They don't burn our Christmas tree! 🙃Or nobody calls us "infidels". Imams don't preach against us, on the contrary, they say go and ask how we are. More importantly, Turks accept that our ancestors have been around for thousands of years and don't treat us like foreigners 🥲. Turks who converted to Christianity later are much happier. Their families support them and they are still seen as Turks by other Turks 😅. Here you go, Turkey in the virtual world. Or rather, the Türkiye that Muslim Turks think of.

Ottomans saved armenians
Western countries are where the propaganda shines you know. Imagine lying about so many things about those events in 1915 for a century. Did you know turkey has been asking for an international scientific team to search and establish facts about those claims? Almost every president who was asked questions about that topic asked for an international scientific team research into the matter which was denied by colonial lobbies every time. Israel denies such attempts btw i mean it will never allow an international organization to establish facts about palestinians for example or other colonial govs always deny international organizations such attempts for their crimes in africa unless they are ready to face the facts ofc. Imagine destroying a country which stood for nearly 600 years with inciting different ethnicities making them k.. each other and while destroying many of its cities. And then blaming its people with the crimes you yourselves committed. Actually its exactly like how those israelis or Zs act. Number of turkish civilian casualties was put around 3 to 5 million. And total armenian population in the ottomans at that time was nowhere even close to the number in those claims. It's scary how people in the west are okey with being raised by such a heavy propaganda driven education. In that regard you didnt move forward one step from the middle ages

Hindu spotted! Why do you gyz always wish to toxify everywhere like the poor country you belong to. You don't know what Hağia Sophia is?, a mosque.
It was reconverted to mosque from a museum. Before being a museum it was a mosque since the time of Sultan Mehmet Fatih. There were no christian objection to it historically since the time it was handed over to Sultan Fatih, the conqueror of Constantinople. There are no roman catholic christians living in istanbul. So it's not like how you gyz do, takeover active mosques in your country.

Irony: Minorities of Turkiýe
Just a question you said that the Assyrians merchants came up from the 2 rivers Anatole 1 what year was this
2 was there Turks
3 what about the Armenians bcs the real name of Anatole is
ARMENIAN PLATAUX
And before that, other peoples lived there. And others before that.
Armenians aren‘t native to Anatolia
1. This was around 2000-1700 BC, see for example the Assyrian trading colony in Kültepe (Kanesh), near modern Kayseri.
2. In this period there were no Turks present in Anatolia yet. Turks arrived at least 3000 years later in Anatolia.
3. The location of the Assyrian trading colonies in central Anatolia (near modern Kayseri) are not located in areas traditionally considered Armenian. Armenian original geography was located more eastwards, in what would become known as Urartu.
Assyrians Armenians kurdish
All the colonial propaganda in short words. Full of lies btw
I am a Kurd, Armenian President Pashinyan said there was no Genocide. Armenians who collaborated with Russia started an uprising in the Ottoman Empire and caused a civil war. In order to prevent this, the Ottoman Empire exiled Armenians whom it saw as citizens for 500 years. There are 20 million Kurds in Turkey and we live in peace, now Israel and the US are doing the same through us. To cause a civil war by inciting the Kurds in Turkey to revolt. We Kurds will never allow this. We are not anyone's puppets. You should stop believing in nonsense.

You haven't mentioned the millions of Greeks and Armenians that were slaughtered last century in what is now Turkey. Those souls are waiting for justice and it is coming soon. Don't show Turkey as a nation that respects minorities because it is not. If you go to the occupied area of Cyprus you will see animals in our churches and anything that was Greek is totally ruined.

Lol ,u came to invide Türkiye and we kicked your granfathers ,why crying now:))
Not only the greeks and Armenians got slaughtered 1915 brother, also the christian Assyrians/Syriacs mentioned in the video. How come there is only 20 000 assyrians/syriacs left in turkey when we have churches from the beginning of christianity there😂 this is turkish propaganda brother and Im Assyrian christian orthodox.
Good, now tell us why Turkey invaded Cyprus. You have only your side in this story right? Could you explain us that why EOKA/ENOSİS terrorists tried to ethnic cleansing on Turks in the island?

The Assyrians shown in the video are western Assyrians also known as Syrian Orthodox, they speak and write western Syriac, while Eastern Assyrians who do not have a presence in the region due to the Genocide 1915-1918 speak and write Eastern Assyrian. There are among the Syrian Orthodox those who admit their Assyrian roots while others specially those from the Middle-East deny their Assyrian roots and claim that they are Arameans but that denial is their problem. Assyrians of the Church of The East who preserved their ancient identity and lineage are called in Turkish Ashurlar/ Assurlar while the Syrian Orthodox church denomination is referred to as Suryanlar.

There is a difference between the Assyrians and the Syriacs. The Assyrians disappeared historically like the Pharaohs and the Hittites. As for those who claim to be or call themselves Assyrians they are actually Syriacs origin but why do they deny their origin? The Syriacs live In Southeastern province of Turkiya, in Iran West Azerbaijan province, in Northern Syria and in North Iraq and Mosul... Btw the regions of Northern Syria(Aleppo, Qamishli and Raqqa provinces) and Northern Iraq and Mosul were part of Turkiya but Britain did not want to hand over these regions after WW 1 because of the Oil and the Oil Era began after WW 1.. Britain also made a demographic change in Northern Iraq by bringing the Kurds from Iran to northern Iraq. For example, the city of Erbil was part of Mosul or Nineveh province and the majority population of Erbil city was Syriacs, Arabs and Turkmen after WW 1 and the Kurds in all North Iraq and in all Iraq in general were less than 100 - 50 thousand and Iraq population was 3 million at that time i think..
The Kurds in Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and the southeastern province of Turkiya are Kurds from the era of Saladin.. As for the Kurds in the southern province of Turkiya, they are Kurds from the era of the Kurd Zand dynasty that ruled Iran
This is a very biased position lacking historical references and contextual understanding.
Forcing Assyrians to identify by their Syriac cultural heritage and inputs to deny their indigenous Assyrian identity is attacking and harming their fight for cultural preservation and respect.
I am saying historical facts and everyone knows that and not just me 🤦
You're simply spreading misinformation.
Historically the Syriac (Suryoye orthodox) have always claimed descent from the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians.
Based on geography and language (Aramaic).
Mor Jacob of Edessa wrote that our ancestors founded the most powerful kingdoms of their times.
Mor Dionysus of Tell Mahre clearly says that the Suryoye east of the Euphrates had many kings from Assyria and Babylon.
Mor Michael Rabo quoted both Mor Dionysus and Mor Jacob of Edessa.
In addition to that the anonymous Syriac Orthodox chronicle of 1234 also quotes our previous scholars claiming Assyrian heritage.
‘Syriac’ puts more emphasis on the Christian identity of the Assyrians, while ‘Assyrian’ emphasises the nationalistic, geographic and historic belonging of the Assyrians. ‘Aramean’ is also used to refer to the Assyrians, and emphasises the Aramaic linguistic identity of the Assyrians, which are speakers of modern Mesopotamian dialects of Aramaic. ‘Assyrian’ constitutes the all-embracing identity of the people also known as Syriacs or Arameans.
@suryoyegabore6043
You add nothing to what I said.
I haven't even denied that Aramean hasn't been used by our scholars as a self designation. I have nothing against the name Aramean. I'm proud of all our names. However to those who say that we're not Assyrians, they should know that our church fathers since Mor Jacob of Edessa till the anonymous Syriac Orthodox author of the 1234 chronicle proudly acknowledged their Assyrian heritage.
Peaceful coexistence? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ofc as deniers of genocide u will not show those, who lived before you
Propoganda by state of turkey
The reporters responsible for this program have no right to call the Christian population of Turkey other than Arameans or Syriacs, neither in the text translation nor in speech. As can be seen in the program, the reporter has used the name Assyrians, which is completely wrong for this Christian minority. In the future, these names Arameans and Syriacs must be used for the people and language.
Those who today call themselves Assyrians have no connection with the ancient Assyrians who were wiped out in the 7th century BC. Those who use this name are not real Assyrians, they are a group of the Aramaic people and the Syriac Church. This is historical fact. The perception of people must change.
One of the biggest mistakes of the Ottomans was the Genocide 1915-1918 against the Christians of different churches, and they employed some tribes that participated in the Genocide. Today, Turks are living the consequences of that aweful act in south east Turkey, the Hakkari region where the Assyrians, the Syrian Orthodox and Armenians lived in addition to the Greeks who were also subjected to Genocide in their areas
Yes yes... this fake genocide again... Explain me why my grand uncle was killed savagely with all others villagers by armenians... It was a genocide against turks commited by armenians when ottoman troops were fighting against russians in east front.
True Ottoman period was ended by overthrown of Sultan Abdul Hamid 2 in 1908. Armenian genocide was executed by Pasha/Kamal regime in the spirit of dividing,destroing,revenging Ottoman unity/land.Most of the leaders of then party was freemason/Crypto **ws.
Stop using the word "genocide" casually. Genocide is the greatest crime that can be committed against humanity and the crime is determined by the courts, not by senators or historians. If it is thought that the Ottomans committed genocide, international courts should be taken and the criminals should be revealed and announced to the whole world, compensation should be paid to the victims, etc. If this is not done, think about why those who say the crime was committed do not file a lawsuit, maybe the facts are not as you think.

The word is Genocide, there is no other word for it and it was committed by the Ottomans and Kurds. Turkey today is part of the same western countries which allowed the Genocide to take place, that is the U.S., France, Germany, Britain/England so you think that they will condemn that act of Genocide ?
When over 750.000 Assyrians (with their different church denominations) lose their lives in a region (Hakkari) while they were targetted as a millet which was supposed to be protected by the Ottoman Sultan and government, then it is Genocide. When their villages and lands are almost all today in the hands of Kurds, then it is Genocide. The world accepted the Armenian Genocide which took place at the same time, but officially the Assyrian Genocide is covered up and no one wants to talk about it so how do you expect the Assyrians to have justice ?
