Assyrian rights

Assyrian rights refer to the protections and privileges afforded to the Assyrian people, an ethnic group with a distinct cultural and historical identity, primarily found in parts of Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran. These rights often focus on preserving Assyrian language, culture, and religious practices, ensuring representation in government, and protecting against discrimination and violence. Advocates emphasize the importance of self-determination, autonomy, and recognition of historical injustices faced by the Assyrians, especially during conflicts and genocides. Promoting Assyrian rights is crucial for preserving their heritage and community within the broader context of human rights and minority protections.
