I think while there is a lot of confusion in Iraq, Assyrians still count as minority and worthy balance in Ankawa. In specific, whatever effort they make in pleasing Kurdish region's officials will amplify ten times. For every ten gesture of good will Assyrian master in keeping their land and town, Kurds will learn one gesture of good will to help the Kurd under the Arab majority (or the lousy neighbor to the North).

All in all Assyrians by pleasing picky Kurdish officials are actually making Kurds aware of the shared weakness. Both Kurds and Assyrians are under mercy vis-a-vis Arab conflict.

More important is the effect on Arabic Baghdad Cafes. If Kurds learn to restrain more in dealing with Assyrians, perhaps Arabs will also learn to restrain more their militancy. There will be a little precedence on their own territory. Perhaps all will be more masters of themselves.

As a minority though I firmly believe it all starts from the little pebble that Armenian or Assyrians do. (and of course the realization that the majority are as always clueless about the most important thing ... getting along with real issues.)

Ankawa is in the Kurdistan region in Iraq, and thanks to the democracy that is practised in Kurdistan region, the cristians in Ankawa and in entire Kurdistan region have their full religious, ethnic, political and educational rights as in any other full real democratic country in the world (especially as in Europe), where the cristians are native people of the middle east. Many cristian families have fled after 2003 from the terrorists in middle and southern Iraq and have settled in the Kurdistan region, were they have got accommodation from the Kurdistan regional government and are practising all there right in the democratic preactised Kurdistan region in Iraq. They have thier own tv-channel and political party(that are of course their basic rights). I hope that the cristians in Kurdistan region (that is their region/country as well) will realise that they live side by side with the Kurds and have to at least be greatful of the right that they have been allowed to practise in Kurdistan, where they in any other reagion in the middle east won't be able to do it so free as in Kurdistan region. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.89.25.254 (talk) 01:19, 25 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
