Form: The Assyrian People
To:   The Governments of Iraq & United States of America

We the undersigned Assyrians are in support of the present Iraqi Government in its
quest to bring about a united, pluralistic, and democratic Iraq in which the national
and human rights of the Assyrian people are granted.

Assyrians are the indigenous people of Assyria (present day Iraq) and deserve
an administrative region to preserve their over 10,000 year old heritage and language,
which incidentally, is a crucial part of both the origins of Christianity and Civilization.

We oppose the activities of certain elements in our community who have been instructed
by Mr. Yonadam Kana, the chief of Al-Rafedain slate, to demonstrate against the Iraqi
Government because he was denied a seat in the newly elected government of Mr. Nuri Al-Maliki.
Mr. Kana’s name appeared last year as a high ranking Baath agent in the lists of the
de-Baathification Commission.

Mr. Kana and his faction certainly do not represent the Assyrian people.
