>Speaking at the Lausanne Conference, Lord Curzon said: "In so far as they are now settled within the borders of British influence, they [Assyrians] are assured of our friendly interest and protection." As history has witnessed, when within a year of its independence, the Iraqi army in 1933 slaughtered
>Assyrians, the British promise of protection had vanished. In hindsight, the minorities, Assyrians or Kurds, became an excuse in the Turkish-Iraqi frontiers (Mosul Vilayet) negotiations to cover British desire to control Iraq's oil fields.

...you forgot to mention the treachery of the Levies...you also forgot to mention that Iraq WELCOMED the Christian refugees fleeing Iran and Turkey...they certainly didn´t have to do that...they were understandably pissed when those same refugees showed their ingratitude by taking up British arms and wearinf Briurish uniforms to kill fellow Iraqis.

>The status of minorities in Turkey had been internationally certified by the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, according to which they included non-Muslims in Turkey. Turkey had become a unitary state where "Turkish citizenship" was an all-embracing juridical concept encompassing all citizens, granting them equal rights and obligations. Thus, theoretically, constitutional citizenship was one of the most basic principles upon which the Turkish Republic had been founded. All constitutions of the Turkish Republic to date have envisaged equal rights to all citizens. But the extent to which this principle is respected is the

..the United States Constitution also promised equal rights and protections to all citizens...yet at this very time, America was denying all basic rights and safeguards to Black Americans as well as Native Americans..and you´ll recall that Native Americans are the INDIGENOUS people of America...go suck an egg with your "history".


The Copenhagen criterion of "respect for and protection of minorities" should be applied not only to the Jewish, Greek and Armenian minorities defined by the Treaty of Lausanne, but also to the
>Assyrians and many other ethnic groups, religious sects, and minorities that make up Turkey's cultural fabric.


...it should also have been applied to Afro-Americans and WOMEN and Native Americans...as the Brits should have applied the same rules towards all the Wogs whose countries they were occupying at that time...you see dear, these fancy shmancy things are written in to FOOL dumb clucks like you.

>The Iraqi-Turkish frontier was left for future negotiations to settle. Article three of the treaty gave Turkey and Great Britain nine months to resolve the frontier dispute and, if that failed, the issue was to be referred to the Council of the League of Nations. Thus, a solution to the Assyrian settlement problem lingered on.

...so does every other Christian hysterian we have...a four year degree may be a big deal in Iraq...it means squat anywhere else.

He has done extensive research on Assyrian history

..he has not. He has read a few books, evicerated them, gutted them of all meaning, pushed and twisted them out of shape or reason...as has been shown enough times...he has then collected together the hash he´s made of other people´s books and printed the result on his desktop, or with a self-publishing outfit...he has THEN paraded around in front of us and others as IF he were a legitimate anything...the man is a fraud, plain and simple...what he has written is NOT history as anyone legitimately in that field would call it...only we, only WE are so starved for cheap and instant recognition, with NO real effort, that we fawn all over this sort of pathetic achievement.

and culture and has published two books. He is currently going to press with his third history book.
