Assyrian Democrat Party

The Assyrian Democratic Party is a political organization representing the Assyrian people, an ethnic group with roots in ancient Mesopotamia, primarily found in Iraq, Syria, and parts of Turkey and Iran. Founded in the late 20th century, the party aims to advocate for the rights, cultural identity, and political representation of Assyrians. It seeks to address issues like autonomy, preservation of heritage, and protection from persecution. In the larger context of Middle Eastern politics, the party emphasizes the importance of minority rights and peaceful coexistence in a region often marked by conflict and sectarian divisions.
