		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.
		Thus, the Assyrian people have to prepare for that which is looming in the horizon, by working to strengthen their position in Iraq and correcting it to advance properly.
		And the time has come for an Assyrian national conference, before the elections of January/2005, which joins all the Assyrian parties who are against the submissive policy and interested about preserving the Assyrian identity, and try to impose their thoughts in the Assyrian and Iraqi political arena.

	Iraqi Assyrians: Barometer of Pluralism - Middle East Quarterly - Summer 2003

		The political disenfranchisement and religious violence have prompted Assyrians, particularly those in the Diaspora, who have more freedom to speak, to call for the establishment of an Assyrian Administrative Area—a safe haven—lest history repeat itself and they again suffer large-scale massacres.

		While dances do change when adapted for performance, it is worth bearing in mind that because so much Armenian traditional dance and music was tragically obliterated as a result of the massacres and diaspora, the survival of these arts in any form is something to celebrate.
		Generally, I place Armenian dances into four categories: dances from Eastern Caucasian Armenia, from Western Anatolian Armenia, from Greater Armenia, and diaspora dances.
		There are other dances, mainly danced closely linked together, which I think of as being from `Greater Armenia', that is, from the territory which used to be Armenian and where dances and music reveal an Armenian influence, even though the dances might be called Turkish, Kurdish, or Assyrian.
