 Overview - Syrian Arab Republic Country Guide - World Travel Guide
In short, the Syrian Arab Republic's long history is littered with dramatic episodes, from being subsumed into past Empires (Babylonians, Canaanites, Assyrians, Phoenicians, and so on) to more recent events, such as Napoleon’s campaign in 1799/1800, the Egyptian invasion in the 1830s and the insurrection in 1860-61.
Such doctrine over-spilled into Arab nationalism in the 1950s - indeed, Nasser’s revolution in Egypt prompted Syria to join Egypt in the United Arab Republic.
The Syrian Arab Republic revels in its antiquity, having been inhabited for tens of thousands of years - and in the variation and cultural riches that such antiquity has brought it.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Israel
According to the Biblical classification of the descendants of Noe (Gen., x), it is clear that the semitic group included the Arabs, Babylonians, Assyrians, Arameans, and Hebrews, to which peoples modern ethnographers add, chiefly on linguistic grounds, the Phoenicians and Chanaaneans.
He employed them on field labour (Ex., i, 14); engaged them upon the store cities of Phithom (the ruins of which, eleven or twelve miles from Ismailia, show that it was built for that monarch) and Ramesse, thus called after his name; and finally made a desperate attempt to reduce their numbers by organized infanticide.
The object of the present article is distinctly geographical and ethnographical, leaving, as far as possible, the other topics connected with the Israelites to be dealt with in the article on JEWS AND JUDAISM, or in particular articles on the leading personages or events in Israel's history.

Since Assyrians who migrate to the United States are considered to be of the nationality of their birthplace, seldom if ever are they listed among those making up the mass migrations to this country.
Assyrians are participating in almost every kind of endeavor; if they have the capability to accomplish, they are not denied the opportunity to do so because of their ethnic origin.
An example of the cohesiveness of the Assyrians is in the respect and affection given one by another: a younger person calls an older one uncle or aunt or teacher; a person of the same age or younger, brother or sister.

 Assyrian Information Medium Exchange- Introduction
However, little has been written about Assyrians of this century, Assyrians in the diaspora, especially the United States and Europe, and the role of Assyrians in the American society as well as in the societies around the world.
Whatever has been written on these topics has not been accessible to a large number of Assyrians because of their dispersion throughout the world and lack of any centerlized agency to assume the responsibility of the collection and dissemination of books, magazines, newspapers, audio and video resources of Assyrian-related issues.
In this way we can develop the kind of self-awareness and kindred understanding, without which those of our forefathers who died for us and our continued existence would be as for naught and in vain, if we cannot remember and honor their courage and sacrifice.

Assyrians once again were not allowed to participate as Great Britian stood in their way, but again they were promised that their rights will be protected, worth mentioning that Agha Petros, General of the Assyrian Army, attended the opening ceremonies.
The Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.

 :: AAASC :: ZOWAA & a new name: Chaldo-Assyrian or Assyro-Chaldean!
Thus, some Assyrians have felt the term “Chaldo-Assyrian” or “Assyro-Chaldean” to be an untrue or illegitimate name to represent the Assyrians, because it is believed that historically Chaldeans, and Syriacs are Assyrians, and the terms “Chaldeans”, and “Syriacs” should only be used to define their geographical/political preferences.
On August 17, 2003, at 3:30pm, Assyrian American Association of Southern California granted Zowaa members’ request to hold a similar meeting in the Bet d’ Umta, which is the home to all Assyrians despite their differenced in views or beliefs.
However, like many others, they anxiously await to hear more about the ADM’s detailed plans to rebuilding a new Iraq for all those living there and hope for a safer home for all the Assyrians who dream to someday return to their beloved homeland.

This means assuring that Assyrians have a place in a post-Saddam Iraqi state and that their concerns about the role of Islam in the new polity are addressed.
Iraqi Assyrians primarily belong to the Assyrian Church of the East (Nestorian) and to the Chaldean Church (Catholic), the latter the result of a 1551 church schism when a segment of the Nestorian Assyrians adopted Catholicism.

For the Pontic Greeks and Assyrians, this is the first time in the history of the United States that the genocide of these historic Christians of Asia Minor has been recognized.
For me, it is quite significant that the three Christian peoples of Asia Minor effected by the genocide between 1914-23, the Pontic Greeks, Assyrians and Armenians, all became a part of my mother’s life, and therefore, integral to her story.
Although many of us were and are familiar with the Armenian Genocide, the Genocide of the Pontic Greeks and Assyrians during the same time and place, is rarely if ever mentioned in modern times.

Turkish authorities dissolved the Assyrians among other nations in order to deprive them of the possibility of joining and putting up a united front.
In fact this war was a good opportunity for Young Turks to test the viability of the all-Turkish ideas in practice, to realize their aggressive and wild plans, which met with support among the military-feudal, bourgeois, ittihatic-chauvinistic elite.
The Assyrians, who fell a victim to the Turkish brutal and severe policy like the Armenians, are also notable for their tragic fate.

This documentray by the French director, Robert Alaux, titled "The Last Assyrians" was shot on location in Ur, Babylon, Baghdad, Mosul, Alqosh, Dohuk, Turkey, Syria, Europe, and the United States.
It is clearly implied that the Assyrians pay the academics of the Swedish Universities, which of course is a fabrication of Ince's; the Assyrians lack the resources which the Turkish Republic enjoys.
Indeed, two representatives of the Assyrian Democratic Organization were on a European tour, in order to meet Assyro-Chaldean people to inform them about the current situation in Iraq and in Syria and to tell them the conclusions of the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac conference, which was held in Baghdad from 22 till 24 October of 2003.

 Center for Immigration Studies
For much of this century, the vast majority of Middle Easterners in the United States were Christians, mostly Maronites from Lebanon, or Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, Chaldeans, and a small number of Jews fleeing predominately Muslim countries.
Because 777,689 pre-1990 Middle Easterners were still in the country in 2000, this would indicate that 92.4 percent of the total Mideast population was still in the United States in 1990.
With a total illegal alien population estimated at eight to nine million (150,000 from the Middle East) living in the United States, violations of immigration laws are certainly very common, but there is no evidence that Middle Easterners violate U.S. immigration law at rates higher than other immigrant groups.
