pancho thank you for you quick and interesting answer; i can agree with you, may be the decision to side with the british was a mistake, because the history has shown to us that the british had only one aim which is their own interest, history has shown that the british betrayed assyrians and did not fullfilled their promises. But the decision to side with the british was not only agha petros decision. The decision had been taken in a conference gathering many high assyrian representatives and mar shimun was one of them. i have details about differents events during ww1, and fights . may be the decision to side with the british was not the best choice. but at that time i think there was not many solutions for assyrians than to survive escape and fight against kurdish and turkish troops killing our children and our women.
Concerning british promises i have an original letter send from captain G Gracey to agha petros dated december 18 1929; this is an extract:
"the assyro chaldeens like the armenians were promised much during the hostilities and if people were to grow rich with broken promises, then both would be rich beyond the dream of avarice. for promises multiplied were given but not fullfilled. altered times and changed conditions are not for help the fullfillment of promises made. however that will not alter theses facts. Your people deserved well of the allied powers and they have been treated with scan courtesy. History will endorse this stain on the escutcheons of the allied and associated powers." written by cptain g. Gracey to agha petros december 18th 1929.
to finish my message i wanted to say that we must take lessons from history,
but we cannot do anything the past is the past. i wonder what we should have done if we had been living during thoses troubled events ww1? nobody knows.
about you saying assyria, our country is an image, it is a fact true today. But our homeland bet nahrain will always be our homeland, we cannot deny that, if we deny that we are betrayer because our ancestors were born in bet naharain. Many assyrians all over the world are dreaming to come back to bet nahrain,this dream is legitime this dream does not hurt anyone. many assyrians all over the world are trying to keep alive our language, traditions culture and history all that is important for the memory of assyrian ancestors.
ok pancho i hope i was not too long and that i did not annoy you. i just wanted to give my opinion but i can be wrong. to be sincere with you i have to tell you that i am one of agha petros grandson (agha petros has 10 grandchildren)
sincerely yours
