Under the auspices of the Apostate Freemasonic Lodge which controls the colonial establishments of France and England, a ´holy alliance´ has been forged between the terrorist "Kurdish" organization PKK (practically speaking a construction of the French secret services) and the ´Assyrianist´ organizations of the Aramaeans. This further endangers the survival of the Aramaean Nation, either the nationally integral and conscious Aramaeans or the disoriented and bamboozled ´Assyrianists´.
In this article, we will continue the re-publication of the insightful research which was first published in the Aramaean website www.aranmahrin.org. More particularly, we republish translated (by the Aram Nahrin team - from Turkish) excerpts from the Kurdish newspaper Berxwedan that relate to discussions (lit. proceedings of a meeting held on 22.4.1993) between the "chairman" APO of the terrorist organization PKK and the board of Assyrian Democratic Organization. The brusque falsification of the Ancient and Christian History of Mesopotamia became apparently the foundation on which the two terrorist organizations intentionally base their effort for another Hell in the multi-divided region. We will complete the present series in a forthcoming article. And in further articles, we will refute the forgeries and demonstrate on what evil purpose they have composed them.

Chairman APO: We still call Urfa Ruha. I presume that this word Ruha is a Syriac word.
ADO: Al these issues together did not prevent our people to be slaughtered. However when they got opportunity, they continuously increased their knowledge, improved their civilization and culture. They again preferred always to live with the people in the region on the basis of peace.
Everything which wrong with them started to happen with the coming of the Ottoman Empire, since the year 1500 (AC). The existed differences between peoples were extra reinforced; the seed of hostility was implanted and stirred up with the result that the peoples crushed each others.
The coming of the Europeans to the region was favored by the Ottoman Empire; because they had became more and more weak. To promote the forming of new denominations, the Western missionaries were giving permission to work in the region.
Until that time, the Syrians were divided, as usual in two denominations, only as Jacobites and Nestorians. With the coming of the Western missionaries, that is to say the Western secret agents (who worked as) priests and monks, to the region, the Catholicism and Protestantism denominations were diffused within our nation. Of course, when they came for the first time to the region, they supposedly claimed to help the Syrians.
Chairman APO: The Romans divided them in and they (the missionaries) divided them in four.
A.D.O: Of course, the Ottomans had a great profit by this division. They got economical support from the West and at the same time the division within the Assyrians provided Ottomans with the quiet. The Assyrians (Syrians) were living under the ruling power of the Ottomans.
In stead to protect them, the West divided them and finally they used them for their goals. In spite of refusal by our people, because of their terrible situation, the Europeans could creep into the region. Of course, they did this under the cover of Christendom.
Chairman APO: Why did they do this?
A.D.O: The interests of the Ottomans required this. The unity of Assyrian was a danger to them, however their division gave them relieve. If our people was not divided, they really would have been a significant power. The danger within the Ottoman empire started to increase and they would be divided anyway. They achieved their goal by dividing the people.
Chairman APO: In other words, divided and rule politics.
A.D.O: Yes, all these matters promoted continuous foundation of schools and churches in the lands of Arabs and Persians.

Exactly the same game they also wanted to play in this country (Syria). At the end the leaders, the Sheiks and rulers of the Turks, the Kurds, the Persians and Arabs have all together played a role in slaughtering of our people.
Again our people tried to forget as soon as possible their wounds and have done everything possible to live in friendship (with these nations). To build up again various relations with these nations, the Syrians continuously strived for friendship.
Between the 19th and 20th century few nationalistic youngsters, such as Naim Faik, Aşur Yusuf and Senherib Bale, stood up. They published a periodical called "The Star of the East (Star of Mesopotamia)". Beside this, they also wanted to publish another periodical with the name "The Path of Liberation". This periodical were published in 3 languages, Syriac, Turkish and Kurdish, however they were written in Syriac alphabet. When the Ottomans became aware of this, they understood that a people anew was waked up and in that way they wanted to establish a movement with a goal. In this time, it was clear that the movement of Armenians, Kurds and Syrians became active. The Ottomans again resorted to faith through which they gained support. They started to strengthen the ties with the Kurdish Sheiks and rulers. They used these leaders to slaughter the Armenians and Syrians.
After Armenians around half million Syrians were slaughtered in Mardin, Urfa, Diyaerbekir, Siirt, Hakkaria and other areas. The slaughtering took place between 1914 and 1919. About hundred thousand members of the community became refugee (in abroad).
Chairman APO: In those times there is mention of Armenian massacres, but in the history there no mention of Assyrian slaughtering. A slaughtering has been taking place, that is true.
A.D.O: Anyhow, the largest emigration took place in that time. They fled to Russia, Palestine, America, Syria and India.
Chairman APO: How many people became refugee?
A.D.O: We estimate more than 100 thousand.
Chairman APO: Was before this also emigration to abroad?
A.D.O: We believe, before that event it did not took place in such a magnitude. However, in 7th century there was a huge stream of refugees from Ruha to Kurdistan. The Kenanits, a well-known big tribe, emigrated to India.
(Note translator: ´Kenanits´ is not correct description, it should be "Kaynakits. Kaynak is a village in Urfa).
These Kenanits were Syrians from Urfa. Currently, there number is estimated around half million in India.
Chairman APO: What was the reason behind their emigration?
A.D.O: They were businessmen and they emigrated for business. The Christianity already before 7th century reached India and there several Christian groups there. These businessmen could do their business much better there. There was neither persecution by Islam, or persecution by the Ottomans nor persecutions by the Arabs.
Page 17, Column 3
Going back to the 19th century. After the slaughtering of 1914-1919, our nation became totally in passivity and remained in that situation, they did not trust the peoples of the region, and they started take an aversion to their neighboring nations. Years after that, although there were trust-undermining acts, the persecution did not stop. Because of this reason, those who were emigrated worked to get their family who were left behind in their fatherlands, to the lands of emigration. It continued in this way until al the people who were still there, left the lands behind.
On the other hand, in 1933 this time a slaughtering was carried out in Iraq. This slaughtering of Assyrians was carried out by the Kurdish Aga´s and Sheiks together with Arabs. Even the regime of Iraq bombarded their villages with fighters. From this point emigrated started to take place, some emigrated to Greece and Cyprus, and some to United States. A part of this people still lives in Syria and bank of the river the Habur.
In short, the result of the beginning of instability was that our people left behind their fatherland, went the path of Diaspora and the emigration is since than extra increased. Of course, the main reason for emigration was suspicion. That is to say that our people became in such a severe situation that they said "I do not care about what is going on, I just want to save my skin, that is enough" and escaped their country.
Of course in this situation, those who escaped were the prominent ruling leaders. According to our investigation, there are 1,5 million of our people living in foreign countries, in Russia, Austria, United States.
Chairman APO: How many Syrians are in Syria and Lebanon?
A.D.O: About 1 million. The major part has been assimilated. They present themselves as "Melkits" or as "Rum Orthodox". As opposed to this, there are in the area of Cizre (Syria) 300.000 who still speak Syriac.
Chairman APO: That is to say, are the Melkits and Rum Orthodox Syrians?
A.D.O: Yes. They are since the era of Roman Empire connected with Romans. In Syriac, "Malko" means, that is to say "Miliki", king (emperor). As from the time of the emperor, the empire, they were given this name. Of this group, a major part, embraces the Roman Catholic denomination. In the Christian Church, the major division toot place in the 4th and 5th century. In this time four ecclesial congresses were held, and thereafter the division became visible.
Chairman APO: Are those who separated from Syrians and embraced Rome, by their separation got alienated with the true history of their people?
Page 17, Column 4
A.D.O: Yes, it is like that. We as, Assyrian Democratic Organization, bother also about those who fled to foreign countries. In Europe and other countries we have associations, federations with the aim to realize the unity within our people and carry out similar activities. A major part of our people is connected with the associations and federations. Our wish is, through these organizations which reside in foreign countries, to protect our people and culture and to hear the voice of our people with their activities.
We work to strengthen the love of our people for their nation and land. The issue of return is also connected with this. Lately 6 Syrians were killed in Midyat by village defenders who work for the government, they wanted to return form Germany to Midyat, two of whom were members of the remigration committee.
This was also the case in the past. In 1911, Asur Yusuf was killed by the Ottomans
He was the writer of the magazine "Unity of the Syrians". In 1914 also Naim Faik first escaped to Palatine and thereafter to United Sates. When the (final) border between Syria and Turkey was set down, our people in Syria started again to establish organizations. In environment of Churches various newspapers and magazines, language promoting schools were established various magazines were published such as "The Unity of the Syrians", "Bethnahrin (Mesopotamia), "Idure". They say that dozens of magazines were published. The establishment of ADO is related with the development of these matters.
The reality of the true history of our people required anyway these developments and that is why ADO was established. The necessity of the establishment of the organization was to make an end to diverse religious denominations, to stop the division and to bring about unity, to melt and bring all of them under one denomination to strengthen their unity as people. On the basis of showing respect to all denominations as Catholic, Nestorian, Orthodox and Protestants and considering the unity of the people as most important point, none of these denominations we ever attacked.
Page 17, Column 5
Our goal is to separate between religion and secular from each other. We on our part, as a mature nationalists, we have not acted towards these denominations with a bad view. We have no relation with Catholics in Europe, however those who belong to the Catholic denomination, for sure we consider them as a part of our nation. In some part of the world, some spiritual leaders have used the denominations against us and attacked us and continue to do so.
Even some of us are not baptized in the church, our deaths are not remembered in during the prayers. We almost got excommunicated. Because some of the faithful wrongful interpreted our strive to unity, they even attacked us. About the Assyrian movement they say "you are Nestorians" and worked for to isolate us. The Church considers Nestorianism as heresy and view it as enmity movement of Christianity. A representative of ADO and sympathizers were slandered by linking them to Nestorianism.
Chairman APO: This means like the Muslims mock the Yezidies, the same way the Christianity mock Nestorianism, right?
ADO: Yes, even now, when want to explain the true history of the Syrian people, in some countries they say "the Syrians are different, the Assyrians are different".
Even the Chaldeans work for to be considered as a apart people, while in reality the meaning of Chaldean is Catholic.
Chairman APO: It is like they say "Kurmanc are different and Zaza are different"…
ADO: It is exactly like that. In spite of all these problems, the main part of people in the region and outside understands us anyway. In short, these are the matter we can say regarding the truth about our nation.
Page 17, Column 6
On the other hand, we also should be aware that live among other nations. This issue also greatly occupies attention. In the countries we live, the majority is Kurds; however there are also other peoples like Arabs, Persians and Armenians.
Our view regarding the relationship between these peoples is as follow: Each people has the right to practice their own culture, language, traditions, right of freedom of expression, and the same rights. The people who live among each other should feel solidarity to each other, they should nourish respect and love. Action should be taken against the party which persecute and harms others.
The nations living on the same territory should consider the common country as holy. In the interest of mother country all the peoples should work together. When the country is being liberated by struggle, the inhabitants of that country should help them in order to become heritors. We have, at this moment, in the countries where we live numerous political, national movements.
These movements should express themselves freely, it is important top prove oneself how to live together in worthy way. We consider ourselves as a faithful people which are a part of middle-east. For this reason it is important that everybody should practice his faith in freedom. We do not say that faith should rule over people, but each people should be free in experiencing his faith. The reason that the people are backward has to do with the backwardness of clergy, who acted like liege.
The economical situation of the nation should be improved, (however) the by them played negative role and raising up of barriers preventing scientific progress is huge. For this reason we say, regardless where one works, on land or in a factory, the people should be free. That is to say, the economical and democratic rights of people should be protected. For now, we want to return to the issue of (political) powers…
We have concluded that the issue of refugee-ship of our people is due to many causes. The main cause of this is that our people has lost the truth about his origin, the powers of the region did not recognize the truth of our people. Neither the Turks, nor the Arabs, nor the Persians have recognized the real origin of our people.
