Ethnic dimension of Iraqi Assyrians often ignored

Iraqi Assyrians are often referred to simply as “Christians,” but there is an ancient, distinctive ethnic aspect to Assyrian groups that is overlooked, thus undermining their rights.

An Iraqi Christian Assyrian girl joins in New Year (Aketo) celebrations on April 01, 2011, in the northern Iraqi city of Dohuk, 500 kilometers north of the capital Baghdad. Descendants of Iraq's ancient Assyrians are enjoying the start of parties and parades to celebrate their New Year, a pagan rite that glorifies resurrection and life and dates back millennia.
