| | Indigenous People in Distress |
| | Assyrians are permitted to convert to Islam, whereas Muslims are forbidden from converting to Christianity. | | | In an interview with the Assyrian International News Agency, Assyrians who had recently visited northern Iraq, suggested that the general belief in the area is that the various Kurdish armed factions are pursuing a policy of intimidation of the civilian population, in order to complete the ethnic cleansing of the Assyrians from their ancestral homeland. | | | Those Assyrians most intimately aware of the policies directed against Assyrians by the Iraqi government and the Iraqi opposition are sidelined as certain self-described victims of the Baghdad government within the opposition continue to pursue the same policy of terror, assassination, forced migration, and subsequent resettlement against the remaining Assyrian villages throughout northern Iraq. |

| | The Assyrian people have endured, and continue to endure the terrorism of the governments of Turkey and Iraq. | | | The “Arabs” that Talaat wrote about are almost certainly references to the Assyrians as only Christians, and in Palestine Jews, were subject to the deportation laws. | | | The majority of people in this room today would have lost at least one family member in the Christian Asia Minor Holocaust 1914-1924 or in the numerous pogroms and persecutions in Turkey and Iraq since then. |

| | Assyrian Canadian Lobbying Committee (ACLC): The Assyrian Dossier in Iraq (Under Close Observation) |
| | As Iraq passes through the preparations to put up the first blocks for the rebuilding of the state, we notice that the Assyrian dossier is still in the same place, closed, while other factions are trying to pass on their racist projects, meanwhile the Assyrian silence dominates both political arenas in Diaspora and the homeland. | | | Even though they remain silent hoping in a patriotic solution, however, the Assyrians have already seen the features of a future Iraq even before Saddam's regime collapsed, when it became clear how the Iraqi opposition yielded before the Kurdish separatist desires which are mainly threatening the Assyrian identity before the land, people and institutions. | | | As well as the failure of the first Assyrian political - military movement not only in realizing the Assyrian ambitions but rather even in merely raising and conveying the Assyrian voice to those overseeing the Iraqi political decision no matter what the reasons or excuses were. |
