About Assyrians

The Assyrians are an ancient ethnic group with a history that spans over 6,773 years. They are indigenous to the region of Mesopotamia, which corresponds to present-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran.
The Assyrians established a powerful empire known as the Neo-Assyrian Empire, which existed from the 10th century BCE to the 7th century BCE. During this period, they built a highly organized and militarily advanced civilization, known for their formidable army, sophisticated infrastructure, and cultural achievements.
Today, Assyrians are a diverse community, spread across different countries and regions. They have established diaspora communities where they strive to maintain their language, culture, and traditions while also advocating for their rights and recognition.
