Several new water infrastructure projects in northern Iraq are raising concerns about potential threats to Indigenous Assyrian sites, such as the Sennacherib Archaeological Park, as well as to nearby villages in the region.

The Assyrian National Council of Australia Inc. (ANCA) is proud to announce the re-branding of its iconic Assyrian New Year Festival of Sydney as part of its 21-year milestone celebration that will take place on Sunday, 30 March 2025.

On Sunday, 4 August 2024, the Assyrian National Council of Australia Inc. (ANCA) and The Young Assyrians (TYA) held a solemn ceremony to commemorate Assyrian Martyrs Day. The event took place at the Assyrian Genocide Monument, a revered site that stands as a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of the Assyrian people.

On Thursday, 25 July, Ms. Breteil Tigris David, President of The Young Assyrians (TYA), attended a special luncheon hosted by Her Excellency the Honourable Ms. Sam Mostyn AC, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia.

The Young Assyrians (TYA) expresses deep concerns regarding Türkiye’s military operations and incursions into northern Iraq. These actions, primarily targeting the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)— designated as a terrorist group by Ankara and several Western allies —are putting innocent lives as well as the region’s infrastructure at risk.
