Assyrian National Council

The Assyrian National Council (ANC) is a political organization that advocates for the rights and interests of the Assyrian people, an ethnic group originally from the region of Mesopotamia, including parts of modern-day Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and Iran. Established in the early 2000s, the ANC focuses on cultural preservation, political representation, and the promotion of Assyrian identity, especially in areas where Assyrians face persecution or marginalization. The council works to raise awareness about their historical and ongoing struggles, aiming to secure political autonomy, human rights, and stability for Assyrians in their ancestral lands and the diaspora.
