Kurdish Attack on Assyrians Leaves Two Dead in Syria

[King Ashurbanipal]

Derik, Syria (AINA) -- Two Kurds lost their lives and another four were seriously injured as a Kurdish youth gang attacked Assyrian youth in the city of Derik, in the traditionally Assyrian section of northeast Syria, 10 kilometers from the Turkish border. The fighting broke out on the first of April. According to Assyrians living in Derik a group of young Kurdish men assaulted Assyrian girls and challenged a group of young Assyrian men to face them.

The Kurdish and Assyrian youth met outside of town to settle the score, equipped with knives and metal bars. In the fighting that followed two Kurdish boys were killed and four seriously injured. No Assyrians are reported to have been seriously injured or killed.

Syrian police stopped the fighting and called an army division from the area of Rmelan to take control of the town and impose a curfew. That did not stop the Kurdish inhabitants in Derik from retaliating by attacking and burning shops, houses and cars belonging to Assyrians. The Assyrians have remained in their homes for several days, afraid of sending their children to school.

Many Assyrians from northeast Syria suspect a hidden Kurdish agenda behind the attack. An Assyrian community leader from Derik says that the Kurdish leader in Iraq, Massoud Barazani, has secretly donated tens of million US dollars to the Kurdish inhabitants of Derik, urging them to drive out the remaining Assyrians in order to Kurdify the town. The plan is to make life difficult for the Assyrians so they will want to leave the area. Those that do not leave would be bought out with the money donated by Barazani.

The attack on the Assyrians of Derik comes just weeks after an Assyrian teacher at the local school was shot dead by an Arab from a tribe which is known to have intermarried with local Kurds. The Assyrians believe the two incidents are interconnected and aimed at driving out the remaining Assyrian population of the once totally Assyrian town.

Assyrian men and women living in European countries are in the process of donating money to help the Assyrian families that have been affected by these attacks.

According to amude.com it wasn't a political fight, the 2 groups didn't had such problems before and only 1 person died. The fact that Aina copied the false information of some previous reports that 2 kurds died means that they don't know what they're writing about.

The so called assyrian community leader's response is weak and not credible. It is Massoud Barzani who pays iraqi christian refugees to come to Southern Kurdistan.

Some people have still the problem to face the reality!
Those Assyrians who are returning to the Nineveh plains. Nohadra province(Dohuk), are returning to their homeland from which they have been displaced after the Anfal Campagin!

KRG ist just doing its work to have some good look infront of the western Eyes!

But still thankful for every kind of help which is offerd for Assyrians!

No Rumtaya - if the KRG wanted to, it could kick out ALL others... But it's welcoming them - and also in many cases building houses for them and giving them jobs...

I think the diaspora Assyrians have difficulties seeing this since they don't live there to see it...

The KRG have no right to forbide the Assyrians repupulating their homeland!

Kurds who were displaced come back to their place of origins, the same right for the indeginous people of Irak should be given too!

Assyrians back to Nohadra,Arbil and Ninawa

He means that even though they have no right to do it, they could do it anyway, but they dont.

Exactly...

That is what I meant... If KRG wanted to, it could easily murder all Assyrian politicians and also end all "Assyrian" - and nobody would even talk about it... Because they have enough money to bribe everybody to not talk about it...

But that would be a bad thing to do... And they won't do that... Ergo: KRG is NOT BAD... It is a GOOD institution which has brought PEACE and FREEDOM to people...

I dont know why its tensed between kurds and assyrians, we should be allies and in this together.

However in the end it would be trouble. If the kurds would get kirkuk, the assyrians would feel used and there would be conflict.


But still in the same time i dont know why but i feel sorry for iraq, since its "most likely" the kurds who will get kirkuk, (if anything is given out at all) the assyrians would want a piece of iraq too. the iraqi people wont have much left but they still have oil although saddam wasted alot, they should be much richer than what they are. Even though most of them dont like us, i feel sorry for them =/

Barzani giving money to Kurds in Derek? Lol. I think there is a KDP office in Damascus and they have ties with the Syrian government.

It looks like we have a conflict in our midst between the Assyrians and the Kurds. But look at it this way. GOD WILL KILL YOU ALL IF YOU DO NOT BEHAVE. SO BEHAVE DAMN IT! We only have a little more than five years till judgement day, which is on december 23 of 2012 as provided by Mayan sources. Practically this is a christmas event.

I don't care about your damn differences. You two groups need to find a leader that you both can agree upon to unite both of your people. Don't and you will know of the true nature of God's wrath. God will not tolerate anymore of our foolishness and will send his angels to wipe us off the face of this Earth when we approach the hour of judgement. Time's a ticking and if we don't act now, then when?
