ASSYRIANS ARE KNOWN IN ARABIC AS ASHOREES.

THEY ARE PERSECUTED ALL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST PARTICULARLY THE CHRISTIAN ONES.

THERE ARE MANY MUSLIM ASHOREES LIVING IN TURKEY, IRAQ AND SYRIA. HOWEVER BECAUSE OF ARABIZATION TEND NOT TO BE KNOWN AS WELL AS THE CHRISTIANS. HENCE THEY ARE PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF THE STEREOTYPE!
