Located near Mosul in Bartell, Alqoş, Bağde and Karemleş Syrians constitute the majority of the population. However, Nineveh Plain is a region of the Syriacs other heavily populated. Here, the Assyrians after 2003 are located in emerging demands for autonomy within the new paradigm. However, the demand of both the federal and regional governments and the international community’s support was due to the realization of a kind. In this context, the political structures that are active within the Syrians from taking the necessary steps have an attitude.

According to information from the region, located in the center of Mosul and everyone hurriedly left the city on foot. Among them, Assyrians, Armenians, Shabak, and they are Ezier.

The international community’s stance on Syria and Iraq reluctance is manifested in the matter. Consequently vulnerable who suffer most from this situation of ethnic and religious groups in a manner which comes first.
