The Chairman's Message
We stand for a dignified solution
to the plight of our people in
Iraq.
The
Chaldean
Syriac
Assyrians
of Iraq have been forced to face three choices:
First, they are forced to face the grim reality of
abandoning their ancestral land of Mesopotamia, the very
land whose earth and rocks tell of a thousand tales of
Assyria. No; this is unacceptable.
Second, our people have been forced to cope with the
daunting ramifications of assimilation; of their culture,
religion, and identity at the hands of radical
fundamentalists. No; this is equally unacceptable.
Third, we can help our people by advocating for a dignified
solution which recognizes the Nineveh Plains as an autonomous
region within Iraq. We can also collaborate with the
government of Iraq and the international community in order
to incentivize the economic development and security of the
Nineveh Plains. After all, our people deserve to live a
dignified life as Iraqis, while celebrating their uniquely
rich heritage.
We invite you to join CASCA in fighting the good fight,
because our culture, religion and identity are on the brink
of extinction. Let us work together and with our friends in
the United States and Iraq to protect and preserve the
richness we should all value.
Ismat
Karmo,
CASCA Chairman
