The Assyrians are an ethnic group indigenous to the Middle East, primarily found in regions of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran. They are descendants of the ancient Assyrian civilization, known for its rich history, including remarkable achievements in art, architecture, and governance. Today, Assyrians maintain a distinct cultural identity, characterized by their language, Aramaic, and traditions. Despite facing significant challenges, including displacement and persecution, they continue to celebrate their heritage through community events, religious practices, and the preservation of their historical sites.
