It is my habit to go through Assyrian and Iraqi Websites to read what our people are thinking and writing, and today as I opened my PC on the Kitabat.com , the first name was of Dr.Edward Youkhana Odisho's article which to be honest pleased me that an Assyrian is contributing in order to defend our Assyrian case , but to be honest UNFORTUNATELY I was humiliated and embraced that such Assyrian highly educated to write such thing which I never imagined and here what he said on Kitabat .com :

والايمان بهذا الشعار يُعين في حل الكثير من المشاكل السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية. خُذ على سبيل المثال قضية كركوك اهي كردية او تركمانية او عربية او اشورية؟ وفق مفهوم الشعار فان كركوك عراقية قبل ان تكون اشورية قبل الميلاد او تركمانية قبل احصاء 1957 او عربية جبراً تحت حكم صدام او كردية اليوم. لا شك ان كركوك هي موزاييك الوطن العراقي ويجب ان تكون نموذجاً لوحدة الوطن.

As you see that " Kirkuk is an Iraqi city before to be ASSYRIAN before B.C. or to be a TURKOMAN city after the 1957 census.., "

If we try to trace the name ' IRAQ ' according to the region or the world history , we will find that the name came with the Arab invasion and occupation of the area in in the middle of the 7th century A.D. , and the area was covering the region around the Persian Gulf which included southern parts of Mesopotamia and south east of Iran, and to distinguish these two IRAQS, the Arabs called the Arab Iraq and the Ajami Iraq.

The name IRAQ was revived by the Arab king Faisal Ibn Al-Hussein when was kicked by the French from Syria to be installed king of Mesopotamia by the British , and the name Iraq became that referring to the area which was carved according to Sayks-Picot treaty between the British and the French to be new kingdom of King Faisal Al-Hussein.

If you trace the British correspondence in the years 1915 and after, you will notice that the British refer to Iraq as MESOPOTAMIA and never used Iraq period, until the the proclamation of King Faisal .

It is important to note that the city of Kirkuk , historically was in ASSYRIA and never been in the Arab Iraq period, furthermore for the sake of argument even though let us agree for a moment that it is an Iraqi city, that Iraqi name didn't came to surface until after the 7th century A.D. and KIRKUK city was not included at the time. and the bottom line what I would like to say that the name ' IRAQ ' is very new historically and came with the Arabs after the middle of the seventh century A.D. , while ASSYRIA came to a Holt 612 B.C. or close to 1300 years to the Arab invasion.
