Professor Bernard Coulie, president of the Institute of Arts and Letters civilizations at UCL, and also specialist Armenia, decrypts Levif.be to the current situation 
of Eastern Christians expelled from Iraq. Interview by Reda Bennani (St.)
What is the strategy for the Christian community of the Islamic State in Iraq?
The Islamic state has grown dangerously for two years to force conquered territories. The hunt for Christians is a real strategy, deliberate on their part.
Christians forced to leave Mosul fled to Kurdistan, are better protected there?
In any case better than in the rest of Iraq is safe. You should know that the Kurdish region enjoys a certain autonomy, since the end of the Gulf War in 1991. It has developed its administration and army, which can be considered more powerful than the Iraqi State . In addition, the Kurds, even devout Muslims, are more tolerant than elsewhere.
How to explain the lack of concrete reaction from the international community?
The international community does not mobilize on the fate of Christians in the East for two reasons: this mosaic of confessions is very complicated to understand even for our leaders. One can not analyze these communities within our gates Western reading. Then Europe is not a major and profitable to go protect the Christians of the East interest. Then, the United States and the Catholic countries of Latin America do not feel concerned. I think it is a big mistake.
Eastern Christians trying to flee their country, became hostile. Where can they go into exile?
Eastern Christians are a mosaic of many faiths such as Orthodox Greeks, Assyrians, Copts, Maronites … They join these churches around the world. With their refugee status (once obtained), this community traditionally diaspora, goes to a host country where it already has a relative who lives there.
What might be the consequences of the departure of Eastern Christians?
In the medium term, given the events, there will be more Christians in the Middle East and Asia Minor. These countries, as a nation-state, will become monocultural. This is a great loss!
