Kurdish–Assyrian conflict

The Kurdish–Assyrian conflict involves disputes over land, political recognition, and cultural rights among Kurdish and Assyrian communities in Iraq and Syria. Both groups have historic claims to overlapping territories and seek greater autonomy or independence. Tensions have arisen from competing national aspirations, lack of clear borders, and differing visions for governance. While both groups have faced persecution and marginalization, their conflict is complex, often intertwined with broader regional politics, including the influence of governments and armed groups. Efforts at negotiation aim to address grievances and promote coexistence, but underlying issues remain unresolved.
