Yes. Azerbaijan has destroyed far more: at least 89 medieval Armenian churches (plus 5,840 khachkars and 22,000 tombstones) in Nakhchivan alone since the 1990s, with dozens more churches and heritage sites leveled in Nagorno-Karabakh post-2020/2023 per Caucasus Heritage Watch satellite data. ISIS destroyed dozens (est. 40-50 in Mosul, fewer in Syria).









🌷🌷 Happy Akitu – Assyrian New Year 6776 🌷🌷 📅 April 1 Wishing everyone around the world peace, health, and hope in these difficult times. 🕊️🌷 May this new year bring healing to those who suffer, strength to those facing hardship, and light to every heart. 🌷 As spring awakens with blooming flowers and new life, may our world also be renewed with peace, unity, and compassion. 🌿🌷 Like a garden in bloom, may kindness grow and spread across all nations. 🌷 Akitu, one of the oldest traditions in human history, dates back over 6,700 years to ancient Mesopotamia. 🌷 It is a celebration of renewal, rebirth, and new beginnings, with April 1 marking the peak of this ancient festival. 🎊 Today, Assyrians around the world continue to celebrate this heritage through culture, music, and community. 🎶🌷 ⚠️ Sadly, celebrations in our beloved homeland Assyria—especially in the Nineveh Plains and Nohadra—are cancelled this year due to ongoing war and safety concerns. 🌷 May Akitu 6776 bring peace, renewal, and hope to all humanity. Akitu Brikha w’Shata Brikhta! Akitu Brikho w'Shato Brikhto!🌷 #Akitu #AssyrianNewYear #Assyria #NinevehPlains #NewYear #Assyrian #AssyrianHistory



















Isn’t this the famous child murderer Kolokotronis who entered Ottoman villages while the men were away fighting to kill unarmed women, children and elderly? He’s probably the most successful ethnic cleanser in history.
