With the possibility of Turkey perpetrating a genocide against the Kurds in northern Syria, Arab Christians are intensely concerned that Erdogan’s aspirations to resurrect the Ottoman Empire may include another genocide perpetrated against Syrian Christians. A demonstration last week brought together Jews and Christians in Jerusalem.
“We, the Syriacs / Assyrians / Chaldeans / Arameans (the Christians), the Kurds, Arabs and other ethnicities found each other with political and military agreements. We formed the Syrian Democratic Council and the Syrian Democratic Forces, which have defended about 30% of Syrian territory and about 5 million Syrians for several years. Our cooperation is based on the social contract that guarantees all ethnicities, religions and cultures equal political rights from the military aspect, SDF that has defended our territory, which is Northeastern Syria.”
