We are NOT Iraqi Christians! We are Assyrian and we predate Iraq by thousands of years. There are several other Iraqi Christians who are not Assyrian, who don't celebrate Akitu. Akitu is a pre-Christian holiday celebrated by Assyrians for thousands of years, it has nothing to do with Christianity or Iraq.

Iraq is older than the Assyrians... The Sumerians preceded the Assyrians in Iraq, and their descendants are still in southern Iraq

​@@anytajp7419What exactly do you want to deny? Everyone knows that the Sumerians are older than the Assyrians. Why are you upset? 😂

Iraqi Armenians who are Christian do not celebrate Assyrian New Year. So why would you title it "Iraqi Christians" then? The title should be: Assyrians celebrate Akitu feast, the Assyrian New Year in Dohuk

[@sarausage]

Armenians r from Armenia and can live anywhere they want like a Lebanese living in Iraq.

[@SarghonJindo]

These are the Assyrians From the Christian faith It is a new year for Assyrians only There is no religion to do with this holiday Christianity has a history and Assyria has a history Do not be confused and say that Christians bring back the New Year for the Assyrian people. The Bible teaches us against Assyrian nationalism But we Assyrians are always proud of Assyria

this is not iraqi, its assyri, bronet kelbe erab qora diokhon. Its assyrian not iraqi

I'm really curious, Assyrians can you tell me if you've ever met someone who has a black parent and an Assyrian parent ?

[@gibbyjilu]

Yes, many times. Like how everyone else has. Why does that matter? What's with the fact that you are so curious about that, you had to leave a comment in that regard on what's supposed to be an Ancient Assyrian celebration?

[@css788]

@@gibbyjilu What is the problem if I ask this question under this video? I was wondering because I've never met one.

[@gibbyjilu]

@@css788I answered your question with an answer. Yes, once again. Everyone mingles with everyone. Just because you haven't met one, doesn't mean that it doesn't or hasn't happened. Give me that same respect. Let me ask you, what race or ethnic group do you belong to? Clearly there are many enemies of Assyria attacking us on almost every platform. Other Middle Easterners mainly, but also separatists within our own community. A comment like that opens you and all of us up to a wave of disrespect. I hope you understand.

[@css788]

@@gibbyjilu so I can't be curious to know if it's a frequent mixing or not 😭 your open-mindedness is very small. I really asked without any ulterior motive. I know that it's not because I've never met one that there aren't any 😶 because my father is Congolese and my mother Assyrian 😂

[@gibbyjilu]

@@css788 Oh and thanks for completely being ignorant to the fact that Assyrians are attacked on social media everyday... I didn't expect any better of you considering you are one of them.

the only gypsies i know are you kurds. no history and no culture. always trying to come up with a hisotry and land but you fail.

[@gibbyjilu]

That's why Kurds have Gypsy-like elements. We are indigenous and the world knows that. You are a proto-Irani gypsy. Your people love to steal and destroy history belonging to others. Kurds claim to be descendants from like four or five different ancient ethnic groups... none of which are true. Go back to Eastern Iran where your gypsy bloodline originated. You're just mad history is not on your side. Literally nobody likes y'all.

Its KURDISTAN and no iraq! Iraqi people need residence permit for living there the only country you can go free in is kurdistan so be thankful you assyrians for that otherwise you can be kicked out forever

If you look at your nationality, you will find that you live in the Republic of Iraq, and if you look at your money, you will find that your money is from the Iraqi bank.

@1علي313 My nationality are kurdish,and all bigger business we do we pay by us dollar,maby we living in usa? 🤔

[@1علي313]

I don't speak English, I speak via Google.Maybe you didn't understand me or I didn't understand you. But all salaries in the Kurdistan Region are from the Iraqi government, and as for the residence, it is free and is nothing but proof that you live or are obligated in Iraqi Kurdistan. ​@@halmaten
