- Akcam’s “pretty much the Assyrian genocide ‘is a development with a broader Kurdish” pledge Do you agree?
Experienced in 1914-1915 known as the Assyrian genocide and other ‘Seyfo’s different roles of power. On top of this, the Union and Progress, the high-level officials in the state, where there is a Syriac population managers in Tur Abdin region, the great feudal tribes and there are those who want to ensure that the interests of these events. Kurds in Tur Abdin and Hakkari Assyrians living together, Seyfo one of the most difficult periods in their history during the years they lived. Also in Hakkari before Seyfo Bedirhan Agha Syriac Patriarch Moran semua massacre and the treacherous murder by Agha Simko be forgotten. Even in those times, Assyrians, helping protect them and personalities of Kurdish families have happened. Aynvert close to the village of Midyat Syriac refuge from the state and protecting it from the gang was still Aynkaf Fettullah Sheikh of the village. Sheikh Fettullah stepped in at the request of the Assyrians led to the withdrawal of state power. On the other hand Taner Akcam’s statements are true. ‘Seyfo I mentioned in a way that differentiates is the role of local power. State business to local forces tried to reach the target by transferring. So central, systematic up and top-down structure is not available.
- Nowadays, especially the problems of Assyrians in Tur Abdin region independently of the Kurdish tribes in the state’s attitude attitude is determining to what extent?
Abdin region separate from the state’s attitude when we consider the problems of the Syrians, and has a major share of the Kurdish tribes in distress. However, the tribes in the region of the state has close relationships with the state using the power of the state act like extensions. Today, with increased opportunities for communication and news about the events in the region reaches everywhere instantly. Kapanmışlıg of the region’s inward, away from the center and the feudal structure occurs due to heavy discharge, tribal leaders often the attitude is decisive. Heavy functioning of the state mechanism, creates a situation in favor of tribal leaders. Today these roles weakened tribal leaders are acting as informal decision-makers. I witnessed an incident of a tribal leader in the “Territories until a Christian I will not take from a Muslim,” he said. Through the power and influence they have tribal leaders able to change the course of events. However, in recent years, which maintained its presence in the region ‘guard system’ has turned into a similar structure. Guards should be under the control of the state over time, and their power began to reveal their presence. This structure Assyrians in the 1990s, had a very difficult time.
- What are the expectations of the Assyrians of Turkey’s Kurds today?
|
In recent years, the peoples of Turkey has increased communication and interaction with each other. People of different ethnic and religious groups have expressed so far is no longer taboo. Common painful page in our history when we consider the road that we still easily visible. Relations between peoples should continue despite all the difficulties. On this basis, inhabited by Assyrians and Kurds in Tur Abdin region is important to interact. Assyrians, Kurds ‘Seyfo’ era, the facts about what happened before and after, friendly attitude and a detailed expect. Valuable figures in the Kurdish movement in this direction, they have made statements in public on this subject, the Kurds are finding very little space. Confiscated lands and other property belonging to the Syrians of Kurds and Assyrians to return them as a people should accept equal. In this context, Kurdish intellectuals and politicians should demonstrate a constructive attitude.
- Declared in the north of Syria Rojava What is the meaning of autonomy for Assyrians?
Syria has three years of an ongoing war environment. Syrians in big cities like Damascus and Aleppo, and also in Hasaki and also a significant population of reed owners. After undergoing a period of calm in the year 2011 and recently in Rojav Salafist groups linked to al-Qaeda forces in the region and with the new parameters appeared to attack. Rojava authority gap that exists in Syria in general is manifested. This gap needs to be filled and people of the region to be resolved and a new formation of everyday life were made to continue. Syrians in this formation there. Except Iraq, Assyrians first time such an occurrence is located. This is a historic step. Fractured fault lines in the Middle East and Syria and Syrians range of emerging opportunities within their own contributions unless and in this process must be revealed. Syrians in new and painful process of self-power by mobilizing their rights and demands voiced in public opinion and share them with the world, in interaction with people of the region should be.
Autonomy in northern Iraq remained on paper
- Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government policy towards the Assyrians How do you evaluate?
Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government policy towards the Assyrians are generally positive. After 2003, in different parts of Iraq, especially in Baghdad Syrians, their distress, assault and harassment after they settled in northern Iraq, and there they built new villages and churches. Syrians, receive education in their mother tongue, there are political parties participating in elections and to broadcast TV channels Syriac owners. Syrians represented in parliament to ensure that the quota system. Christmas soon, two days public holiday was declared. Despite this positive picture, there are some issues still troubles continue. Assyrian villages is getting a little bit of harassment. In addition, the Regional Government has confiscated land owned by the Syriacs and also provided compensation to the owners about them. A few years ago of the Assyrians in Zakho owned businesses were raided and destroyed. It was not related to any criminal investigation and the perpetrators brought before the judiciary photo. Regional Authorities of the Constitution recognized the right of autonomy stayed on paper. At the moment both in Iraq as well as the Regional Management of the major demands of the Assyrians living in the Nineveh Plain autonomy will be implemented in the project. The realization of this project, the Assyrians in Iraq and many other countries will positively affect future designs.
