TO THE PEOPLE OF ASHUR

To the people who has challenged difficulties to assert its existence.

To the people, who was able to pass through the horrible effects of massacres and moved through time in the struggle for its national rights on its national homeland Ashur (Assyria).

To the Assyrian who refuses the occupation of his/her land and strongly denounces the forced migration, persisting to face the occupier who is desperately trying to obliterate all that is Assyrian be it land or people.

THE RIGHT OF SELF DETERMINATION

All the peoples have the right of self determination as per international standards and due to this right they are able to freely determine their political position and practice their development economically, socially and culturally.(The self determination article in the United Nations charter).Pointing to "all the peoples" instead of "all the countries" this article has confirmed the legal right of the peoples to bequeath their culture to the future generations in order to enrich the general human heritage.

The people who has lost almost a third of its population as a result of upholding and being sincere to the promises made prior and following WWI, has certainly the right to be recognized and be independent, since the principle of self determination should be recognized as a sacred and firmly rooted right for the human race.

We as Assyrians have the right of self determination which has been recognized through the confirmed rights of the persecuted and occupied peoples within all the different treaties of the United Nations (formerly the League of Nations) whereby many peoples were able to become completely independent through the implementation of this article of the United Nations charter.

Our Assyrian people have the right to determine their own political future, choosing a suitable system and to have the authority over their wealth and the resources on their land Ashur (Assyria). This is a legitimate right for our people, it's not possible for any other entity to dictate any conditions on our people in this matter. Our people have the right to build their own entity.

ASHUR
ASSYRIA THE LAND

Ashur (Assyria) the motherland extends from the Tigris to the Khaboor Rivers till it reaches the Euphrates. It has been inhabited since ages unknown, estimated by archaeologists to be over a million years ago.

THE PEOPLE

The Assyrian nation is composed of those who feel their Assyrian belonging regardless of their beliefs or religious affiliations.

Iraq the land of the first godly inspiration and the cradle of heavenly messages is the homeland of the Assyrians. That is why we notice that the Assyrian people have embraced and lived these messages, converting from one heavenly message to the other as per the circumstances of time and place. This made the Assyrian people spread within more than one religion and in many countries. Hence it is important to preserve the national unity of the Assyrian people as well as the political discourse with all its religious and denominational affiliations.

RIGHTS

There should be an un disputed assertion on the part of all international organizations that the land of Ashur (Assyria) is the national homeland of the Assyrians, the right of return for every Assyrian in the world, that the Assyrian people have the right of self determination as an indigenous people and that they are the sole legitimate lawful owners to all the wealth in the land of Ashur (Assyria) as well as being the sole inheritors of the Assyrian Civilization and its monumental relics.
