Who are the Assyrians?
According to Wikipedia
Assyrians are a Christian Syriac-speaking minority inhabiting northern Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey and northwestern Iran, some of whom also identify themselves as Aramaeans, Syriacs and Chaldeans. They are the survivors of the formerly extensive Aramaic- or Syriac- speaking Christian community of Northern Mesopotamia, pre-dating the Islamic conquest of the region.
