@sousou5456 @namogoran6 All it takes is answering the questions in the post, simple. Leave the messenger and answer the questions.

@FredAprim @namogoran6 Is this an Assyrian who has never had a country saying this?

A rare picture of The Last King of the Kurds Sheikh Mahmoud he sent this picture as a gift to the Nazis and was published in German newspaper(At that time Sheikh Mahmoud was allied with the Nazis)

@its_The_Dr YES! Sharia Law has no place in any free, democratic, advanced civil society.

Would you

@JDunlap1974 That could be a tough question, but there is no comparison, sleepy Joe, of course.

WHICH WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER OR JOE BIDEN?

@RossyPrime I avoided his songs for decades; his voice sounds like a horse.

Who's with me?

hahahaha. That is a new way of presenting history, Kurdish style. Oh, Turkomans came with the Ottomans and it is obvious when the Arabs came; therefore, Kirkuk was always Kurdish. lol. What a logic, what a mind. It is just amazing how simple it could be, but damn those archeologists who complicate things for no reason. hahahahahaha. How could anyone ignore the short Hurrian control of the region, then the lengthy domination of the Assyrian Empire under the name of Arrapha, followed by the Assyrian Christianity strong presence as Kakha d' Beth Slokh and as part of Assyrian Adiabene and later the Arab Islamic conquest is just mind boggling. The Kurdish (as a collective people) presence in northern Iraq dates back to post 1514 battle of Chaldiran. The Sunni Kurds of the Zagros Mountains assisted the Sunni Ottomans against the Shia Safavid. The Ottomans assisted by the Kurds won the final battle, but the Kurds of the Zagros Mountains began to infiltrate into Anatolia and northern Mesopotamia fearing the retaliation from the Shia Safavid. There are references to Kurds before the 10th - 12th century, but the term Kurd at the time was still a reference to the Middle Persian term Kwrt (later Kort, Kurd) or tent-dweller nomads applied by the Sassanids (3rd - 7th century) on ALL the nomads of the Zagros Mountains or to mean robbers/thieves in Syriac references.

Kirkuk was never mixed we all know Turkmen came with Ottomans And it’s obvious where Arabs came from ! Kirkuk has always been a Kurdish city and no one can change that fact Not even Saddam could.

@Kurdistan_AR There is no such thing as kurdistan is advancing. There is no independent country called kurdistan to make that statement. It is Iqleem kurdistan or kurdistan region of Iraq. Say it as it is officially.

This is not about "you" and "us". You are creating this environment. This is strictly about true history and fake history. You could lie and lie as much as you want and I would not give a damn, but when that lie affects the true history of Assyria and Mesopotamia, the game changes. Stop listening to the Kurdish history revisionists Soran Hamarash, Mehrdad Izady, Fadil Mirani, etc. and you will see how I personally will respond to your calls of rights as people entitled to rule yourselves and live in dignity. I said that on several occasions, but it gets lost in the thousands of historical lies that many of the Kurds spread on Social Media, which leaves me personally with no other choice but to respond with the truth that many Kurds dislike and label as attacks. By the way, it is not only about issues in the modern sense, which we should not apply to life a thousand years ago. All what the Kurdish tribes did was massacring Armenians, Assyrians, Yezidis, and many other smaller groups, stole lands, villages, yearly crops, abducted children, kurdified them, etc. etc. but built NOTHING. Every ancient empire of the past was built on wars, it was the way of life, but many of those empires built civilizations at the same time. The Kurds built NOTHING, attributed to NOTHING scientifically, invented NOTHING, etc. That you need to agree with.

I think you lack education and completely missed the point. Since you anachronistically use terms like "countries" and speak of "recognition" in a modern sense. And then go on to speak like the Assyrian empire was there yesterday, and the landscape hasn't changed radically changed since the Iron-age. In reality, you Assyrians have been "stateless" for thousands of years. And also lack recognition as a nation, even more so than Kurds, in the international community. No one is faulting you for this. Not every nation succeeds in adapting to different political and civilizational paradigms. But the fact that you guys seem to spit your venom and bitterness against us, just shows how petty and pathetic you guys have become.

Turkey is extremely polarised after this week. Erdogan has now jailed or dismissed all Kurdish and secular political leaders. Balkanisation is an option.

@Kurdistan_AR There is no such thing as north kurdistan. Why? Because there is no official thing as kurdistan in order to have north, east, west, south, southeast, northwest, kurdistan. Enough fabrication and manipulation.

@Prettygirl12782 Rawwadid or Banū Rawwād ( بنو رَوّاد) was a Muslim dynasty of Arab origin that initially controlled Tabriz and north-eastern Azerbaijan. It was not Kurdish. In fact, the term Kurd at this period was still referred to the original Kwrt, tent-dweller nomad. Enough fabrication.

Who voted for her? Her community in the district that they make a sizeable percentage. This is how American values are changed and lost when the US allows groups to make majority in certain cities. Poor judgement on the part of US authorities. Remember the Somalis in Minnesota and Ilhan Omar?

@TodayAssyria This is how the authorities treat ancient Assyrian artifacts and archeological sites in general. When will they care for this priceless site?

📜 Relief carving of Assyrian King Ashurnasirpal II (883–859 BC) overlooking the ancient Assyrian Christian village of Arbo in Tur Abdin, Western Assyria — a timeless shadow of the Neo-Assyrian Empire carved into stone. ✨ Deep in the ancient mountains of Tur Abdin, local Assyrian Christians recently came across this remarkable hidden relief among the cliffs above Arbo. Though centuries of wind, rain, and time have softened its details, the figure of the king still stands proudly above the land nearly 2,800 years later. ⛰️ What makes this discovery even more extraordinary is its connection to the royal annals of Ashurnasirpal II himself. In ancient cuneiform inscriptions, the king described his journeys through the Kashiyari mountains — the ancient name for today’s Tur Abdin — and reported visiting his Assyrian communities in the region, including Matiate, modern-day Midyat. 📖𒀭 The relief at Arbo now feels like a living echo of those very words carved onto Assyrian clay tablets almost three millennia ago. 🏺✨ And Arbo is not alone. Across Southeast Anatolia, Assyrian kings left traces of their empire carved into cliffs and mountains: 📍 Cizre – Mount Cudi King Sennacherib carved royal reliefs overlooking the mighty Tigris River. 📍 Bingöl Highlands Kings like Tiglath-pileser I and Shalmaneser III left inscriptions during their military campaigns. 📍 Amid (modern Diyarbakır) – Eğil At the site of the Assyrian Castle in Eğil, another mysterious Assyrian king relief still survives near ancient river crossings and mountain roads. 🏰 For centuries, the mountains of Arbo protected this hidden memory in silence — a surviving echo of the Neo-Assyrian Empire beneath the skies of Tur Abdin. 🌄✨ #Assyrian #Assyria #TurAbdin #Arbo #Ashurnasirpal #NeoAssyrianEmpire #Mesopotamia #AncientHistory #Archaeology #AssyrianHistory #Midyat #Diyarbakir #Egil #MountCudi #History #AncientCivilizations #AssyrianHeritage #Kashiyari #NearEast #StoneRelief

The most powerful statement made by Dr. Khazal al-Majidi is when he stated history earlier was an art, the art of writing, poetry, drawing, and perhaps imagination, etc. However, in the 19th century, history became a science backed by archeology. Al-Majidi is right, because the history that is based on the art of writing and then interpretation from person to person, one generation to another, and then from group to another group and going through translations that add deeper problems in preserving the original text. Many individuals who wrote history and continue to write history today, treat it as art, but fail to present it as science backed up by archeological evidence. The Kurdish history falls in this category. Meaning, "Kurdish" history is an art. There is NOT a single archeological evidence to this history.

In other words, al-Ṭabarī’s Arabic version is not the original Middle Iranian letter sent by Ardavān to Ardashīr, rather, the Arabic text appears to be a 10th-century construction, very likely an invention by al-Ṭabarī himself. A close reading of al-Ṭabarī’s work /7

In order to understand how Arabs in the Abbasid period adopted the ethnonym “Kurd” & applied it to nomads, Ardavān’s letter to Ardashīr is the best example. In the Persian version, Ardavān calls Ardashīr a "child" from the villages of Istakhr; there is no mention of Kurds. /1

But it is argued that around the 10th to 12th century, the original Middle Persian term Kwrt, or tent-dweller nomads, began to take the meaning of identified group of people thanks to the Arabs and the Islamic conquest. Many of those tent-dweller nomads (Kwrt, Kurd) joined the Islamic army, became common people among the Arabs and within a few generations the image of nomadic Kurd changed as they mixed and were raised among the Islamic armies just as other peoples who converted and participated in the Islamic conquest whether to escape paying the jizya or just escape any kind of persecution.

So Kurdish nationalists (some of them) can’t use this letter to claim Sasanids, and anti-Kurds can’t use it as proof that “Kurd” simply meant “tent-dweller” in Persian to deny Kurdish identity. It is a 10th century literary construction, not a Middle Persian letter.

@HemdadArwandi This is kind of interesting. Thanks.

in the work of Ibn Taymiyya who writes: “All nations have nomadic and settled peoples: the nomads of the Arabs are the Aʿrāb, the nomads of the Persians are the Kurds, the nomads of the Greeks (al-Rūm) are the Armenians, and the nomads of the Turks are the Mongols…” /12

No, Lurs are not Kurds. fredaprim.com/pdfs/2025/Lurs… And I personally have no issue with what Kurds publish about their history post Islam, which is documented already. The challenge for you is to show us ANY reference of people known as Kurds before Islam and the Sassanids (3rd-7th century) who created the word Kwrt, which meant tent-dweller nomads.

1/ Here are some historical sources where Lurs were described as Kurds or branches of the Kurdish people. For example, in the 12th c. Farsnama, Ibn al-Balkhi referred to tribes like Gīlūye (still preserved in the name of Kohgiluyeh Prov.) as part of the "Kurds of Fars Prov."🧵

It is obvious that you lack REAL EDUCATION. 1. While the Old Assyrian Empire is known to have been established and existed c. 2000–1364 BC, 2. The city of Ashur (and hence Assyria) was originally established during or even before the Early Dynastic I period (c. 3000 BC). New archeological analysis indicate that the city of Ashur was inhabited since the 5th century BC.

@FredAprim @Kurdism24 @FredAprim When was Assyria recognized. 800 b.c?

hahahahaha .... there is not one single justification to history for making such comparison. Armenian history is REAL, well verified and backed by archeological evidence. The history of people known as Kurds surely does not stand such comparison, because there is no archeological backing at all that supports Kurdish history. Everything else in Kurdish history is bunch of words that are carefully manipulated where the Kurds call tribal systems as emirates and Kurds are associated with ancient groups whose names start with K or Co or Ca that are pronounced like Kurd, Kord or Cord. Besides that, Kurdish history is about massacres and looting not only of non-Kurdish indigenous people around them, but also between the Kurdish tribes Baban, Soran, Bohtan and Bahdinan themselves. The Kurds lack any rooted literary history since the oldest documented publication by Kurds is considered to be the 1597 Sharafnama by Sharaf Khan Bitlisi and it was published in Persian and not Kurdish. This is the Kurdish history. Other than that is fantasy backed by Kurdish writers and some of those who are sympathetic to the Kurdish people, which is to many justifiable because the Kurds deserve to rule themselves just as any other group, BUT that must not be at the expense of other people.

@FredAprim 😂

What did the great Armenian fighter Arman Tsarukyan who understands history says in public? Why he said that? Because he understood the truth that kurdistan did not, and still does not, exist as a country and that the Kurds were nomads, not to insult, but to stress a historical fact. youtube.com/watch?v=2e7FgU…

The Kurdish national agenda has been working hard to create a new Kurdish history in the last 50 years or so. No one is saying that the Kurds did this collectively 100 years ago, but, yes, they did since the self rule was established in 1992, and mostly since 2003 as money poured in for the KRG or Kurdish authorities (Barzani family) from the revenues of illegal oil sales and border crossings tolls.

So let me get this straight your actual argument is that Kurds somehow traveled back in time to 1913 to bribe "Harry Reginald Hall" British archaeologist and historian? ok its not your fault its my fault wasting my time with brainless nestorian gypsite like you. no wonder why the brits used you like toilet papers and abandoned you later 🤣🤣🤣 i seriously feel sorry for you guys.

The KRG pays professors a lot of money and lures others to work in the region universities. Consider Ferdinand Hennenbichler who wrote "The History of Kurds. Edition Winter work (It is a Printshop). Germany. 2011". He taught Kurdology at the University of Sulaymaniyah, northern Iraq Kurdish region, and after over 10 years of teaching, he was hired by the KRG to remain as an expert within the KRG system.
