#10 - The Story of Assyria: Kurdish and Turkish Perspectives

In this powerful session, we explore the emergence of modern Turkish and Kurdish identities and how they intersect with Assyrian history. From Ottoman reforms to modern revisionism, we examine nationalism, genocide denial, and the lingering impact of orientalist narratives. What does it mean to be Assyrian in a region reshaped by imperialism, erasure, and myth?
