Assyrian political parties

Assyrian political parties represent the interests of the Assyrian community, an ethnic group with roots in ancient Mesopotamia, primarily in modern-day Iraq, Syria, and Iran. These parties advocate for the rights, culture, and political representation of Assyrians, often focusing on issues such as autonomy, security, and preservation of heritage. Prominent parties include the Assyrian Democratic Movement and the Bet-Nahrain Democratic Party. In recent years, they have navigated a complex political landscape marked by regional instability, often seeking alliances with other groups to enhance their influence and protect their community’s interests.
