Letter to his Excellency the honourable
president Mr. Jalal Talabani,
24.4.2006
Assyrian General Conference
To his excellency the honorable president Mr. Jalal Talabani,
Iraqi greetings ...
To begin with we would like to congratulate you on the occasion of taking up
the responsibility of the presidency for the State of Iraq, wishing you success
during these difficult times in Iraq which makes it inevitable for all Iraqis
to gather and unite in order to work together bringing Iraq back to its
prosperity and progress.
As we believe in the nobleness of Iraq's people and its unity with its
different factions,relying upon our absolute faith stemming from history's
facts and the reality that the Assyrians are the inveterate, indivisible part
of the Iraqi people and that they're the first layer in building the Iraqi home
which is incomplete without them, we in the Assyrian General Conference convey
our obvious dismay on disregarding the Assyrians in your speech before the
members of parliament on April 22, 2006 and we declare our tremendous concern
that's there's a general tendency to disregard the Assyrian national existence
reflecting a religious attribution on them at the expense of the truth that
they're the true indigenous nationality in Iraq, cherishing at the same time
the religious belonging of this inveterate people.
The Assyrians have contributed throughout history to the building of Iraq's civilization preserving its
existence, as they were the pioneers in the path of strife for the freedom of Iraq, for equality, justice and
democracy for all its sons and daughters.
The campaigns of suppression, killings, forced migration and opression witness
to their commitment for Iraq, starting with the Simel
Massacre which was the overture of the Iraqi State passing through a long series
of afflictions and repression continuing with today's suffering.
The Assyrians are looking forward to an Iraq for all Iraqis, one Iraq with its people and land, skies
and water. An Iraq where all its sons and daughters
would equally enjoy their rights, your responsibility and that of all those in
power is immense in this matter.
The Assyrian General Conference
