Assyrian diaspora
The Assyrian diaspora refers to the migration of the Assyrian people, who are descendants of the ancient Assyrian Empire in the Middle East, particularly modern-day Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Due to conflicts, persecution, and political instability over centuries, many Assyrians have settled in countries around the world, creating communities in places like the United States, Europe, and Australia. This migration has led to a rich global culture that maintains a connection to Assyrian heritage, language, and traditions, while also integrating into diverse societies. Today, the Assyrian diaspora continues to advocate for their rights and cultural preservation.
