AN OPEN LETTER TO ASSYRIAN ASSOCIATIONS AND MAGAZINES
From:
Association Assyrophile de France
We think if our duty to inform you about our relationships with the ZOWAA Party. Our first contact with that movement dates back to April 1993 when a member Mikhael of the ZOWAA delegations that had come to Paris, took the trouble to pay us a visit, and this, in spite of "advice" from his entourage urging him not to go to Toulouse because there were "no worthwhile" Assyrians there- even though his cousin is the treasurer of our Association...
At the end of his visit, the "Association Assyrophile de France" decided to immediately had over to his own hands a large sum of money as a token of our solidarity with our fellow-Assyrians in the North of Iraq. After that we regularly send (each month)to the ZOWAA representative in Paris a sum of money significant enough considering our small number. Then our Chairman, Joseph Rayes, was commissioned by our Association to go to North of Iraq, in order to evaluate the situation. For that trip to be more fruitful, our chairman got the written support from the Toulouse City Hall, the R.P.R. (Jacques Chirac's Party) along with that of other influential groups. Strengthened by those written pledges of support, Joseph Rayes made a first trip to the North with a group of Assyrians from France. On this occasion, he handed over to ZOWAA Secretary General, Ninos Betyo, the above mentioned letters of moral support.
To be precise our Chairman made some statements of encouragement along with the promises that he would return to the North in the company of a French politician, along with a large sum of money and medical supplies. He also pledged to publish an article in the French press in which the name of ZOWAA would be mentioned for the first time in France. Joseph Rayes recalls that on this occasion his interlocutors did not believe his promises because, as ZOWAA put it, many had made vain promises to them before. In spite of that tepid welcome, Joseph Rayes, moved by the plight of Assyrians in the North, who count on the support of their brothers in the dispersion worldwide, did return to the North in full accordance with all his promises. He was notably accompanied by the Vice-Mayor of Toulouse, a well-known physician, Professor Pierre Puel...Joseph handed over to Ninos Betyo a full-page article taken from a French newspaper with the very picture of Ninos Betyo on it! We should also mention the delivery of two large suitcases full of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories...
In July 1995, Joseph Rayes went to Syria and took the opportunity to meet one of ZOWAA leaders, the one called Michael who warmly welcomed him and expressed his frustration of having met many Assyrians who had promised him to help him to go to Europe and the United States, all in vain. Joseph Rayes accepted to take the problem in charge and within a month managed to get a visa to France for that leader and his family. During his visit, that very same Mikhael was handed over by our chairman letters of support from Jacques Chirac (President of France) and other important people. Later on Ninos Betyo came to France to plead the Assyrian cause to Assyrians in France...He did all he could to ignore our Association and moreover he even tried to meet Professor Puel without us...It so happened that, to the dismay of the French authorities Ninos Betyo had an unspeakable and irresponsible behavior when he insisted to Mr. Puel that we should not be present during the interview.
During that interview, we asked him the causes of his unfair attitude towards us. He was utterly unable to give the least trace of an answer; he spent the entire interview looking down shamefully, uttering one word...As a result of the disappointing (to say the least) attitude of ZOWAA Secretary General, Joseph Rayes directly called Mr. Yonadam Yossep (Yacu) in the North to report to him Ninos Betyo's behavior in France. Yossep apologized profusely at hearing about the Secretary General's ungrateful and indefensible attitude. As we mentioned our aim to inform the Assyrian Associations worldwide of our bitter disappointment towards Ninos Betyo's behavior in France, Mister Yacu begged us not to spread the news, and asked us to write a report to him, promising that he would set the record straight. We have sent him a report and have so far received no feedback.
Following these events, the other leader, called Mikhael, whom we managed to get a visa to France, was eventually granted, mostly thanks to our lobbying at the American Embassy in Paris, a visa to the States for him and his family. Such was the state of our collaboration with ZOWAA when, in January 1997, we heard about Mr. Yacu's visit to France. The latter, to our own utter surprise and frustration, behaved even worse that Ninos Betyo!!
As a conclusion, the aim of this letter is to inform our fellow Assyrians worldwide of the mean and paltry attitude and proceedings carried out in France by the highest Assyrian authorities of the North of Iraq. This is only a brief summary of the events. We are holding at the disposal of any Association or Magazine, written documents purporting our statements in this letter along with other information concerning our efforts to help the representatives of North Iraq Assyrians, efforts to alleviate our brothers, sufferings, and those very same representatives' ungrateful attitude towards our Association. We have decided to keep you informed, out of despair of ever finding fair and responsible Assyrian leaders, and because we think it is our duty to be vigilant as to the quality of elected leaders chosen to represent the Assyrians in the North and abroad...Long Live Assyrians!

ASSYRIAN VILLAGE
IN NORTHERN IRAQ TARGET OF TURKISH ATTACKS
(ZNAD) According to a report received from the Assyrian Democratic Organization (Mtakasa) last night at ZENDA's European desk, the Assyrian village of Dori in the Barwari region of Northern Bet-Nahrain was the target of massive Turkish military bombardment on 3 June. Several people were killed and a large portion of the village which included Church of Mar Gewargis was hit. This Church was once before the target of Saddam's army in 1978. The church building was re-built with the support of the Assyrian Democratic Organization in Germany and the project was then carried out by the Christian Aid Program in Iraq (CAPNI).
LIST OF 24 ASSYRIAN POWs RELEASED FROM CAPTIVITY IN IRAN
As the Iran-Iraq War ended in 1988, after 8 years of near-complete annihilation of the two countries industrial infrustructures, many soldiers from either countries remained as prisoners of war. In the following nine years hundreds and sometimes thousands have been exchanged or simply released on the occasion of a general amnesty or a humanitarian gesture of good will. This year 724 Iraqi soldiers were released by the government of Iran of whom 24 were identified by the officials of the International Red Cross as Assyrian. The following is a complete list of these 24 Iraqi-Assyrian POWs who have been in captivity since 1988.

IRAN DENIES COLLABORATION WITH THE PKK
(ZNUP: Ankara) Iranian deputy Foreign Minister Alaedin
Boroujerdi denied that Iran was supporting Turkish Kurd separatist rebels.
Boroujerdi with a message from President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani to
Turkish President Suleyman Demirel, expressed concern over Turkey's continuing
military operation in northern Iraq against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers
Party, or PKK. Iran, in common with Turkey's other Muslim neighbors, has
protested the large-scale incursion in northern Iraq, which began May 14,
and urged that the troops be withdrawn. Turkey maintains Iran was supporting
the outlawed PKK, which has been fighting a guerrilla war since 1984 in
an attempt to establish an
independent Kurdish state in southeast Turkey. Turkish
General Fevzi Turkeri commented that Iran was giving "every kind of support
to build a regime in Turkey" based on Sharia, or Islamic law. He
said arrested militants have testified that Iranian diplomats in Turkey
have helped them with money and in getting passports.
LEBANON'S PARLIAMENT URGES ECONOMIC EMBARGO OF TURKEY
(ZN-Xinhua: Beirut) The foreign affairs committee of Lebanon's
parliament has called on all Arab countries to sever their economic ties
with Turkey because of the current Turkish incursion in northern Iraq.
The 18-member committee also denounced what it called a Turkish-Israeli
coalition sponsored by the United States. It said in a statement that the
committee held a meeting in presence of Lebanese Foreign Minister Farez
Boueiz to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East "in light
of the Turkish-Israeli coalition" sponsored by the U.S. and its dangerous
reaction. The statement claimed
that the coalition was aimed at what it called getting
water and territory and imposing blockade upon Iraq, Syria and Lebanon
as well as other Arab states. The document, issued at the end of the meeting,
noted that the Turkish-Israeli coalition wants to achieve these goals "by
the Turkish incursion into northern Iraq and by the Israeli military escalation
in south Lebanon and an attempt to impose a solution of surrender" upon
the Arab-Israeli conflict. "The committee also denounces the Turkish incursion
into northern Iraq because it threatens the Arab national security and
because the means which Turkey is using has gone beyond the limit of solving
the Kurdish problem to the extent of inflaming a powder barrel in the region,"
the statement added. The Turkish government troops have intruded northern
Iraq since mid-May at the pretext of eliminating members of the separatist
Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK). On the question of convening a regional economic
conference, which is due in Doha, Qatar, in November, the committee called
for an Arab economic conference "in order to foil the plot of establishing
an "Israeli-dominated Middle East market."

"I think one message per issue is great idea..."
Samir Younan
Toronto, Canada
"According to the last Zenda edition, Dr. Lincoln Malik has offered to submit a public report on behalf of ADM, which will include an account of the ADM congress he recently attended in north Iraq. I very much look forward to reading about this meeting, and to learn how are fellow Assyrians are holding up in the face of a very unstable political situation. At the same time, I believe it would be of great interest to many Assyrians to learn what the Assyrian Aid Society (the non-profit spinoff of ADM) plans for the money left to it by the Will of Mr. Adams. I have attempted more than once to obtain some indication about this, but the Assyrian Aid Society has stonewalled my request, and has provided unresponsive answers. It is my conviction that ADM (and AAS) need to reconsider the negative effect on their credibility when they duck some very simple questions. The Assyrian people have a right to know. The leaders of ADM and AAS who live in sunny California need to consider the effect on the image of the organization. The sooner they come up with some candid answers, the sooner we can get on with it."

CITY OF CHICAGO WILL HELP FINANCE THE BUILDING OF THE AANF HEADQUARTERS
(ZNDA: Chicago) According to Mr. Isaac Toma, Chairman of the Assyrian American National Federation's Headquarters Committee, the members of the City of Chicago's planning department have agreed to assist in the financing of a headquarters for the AANF in the city of Chicago. The financing of this three million dollars project will involve a long-term tax exempt bonds with the low rate of up to 3%.

AMID THE RUINS
In 1898 I stood before two marble monuments of winged
Assyrian lions amid the ruins of ancient Nineveh; but on a second visit,
four years later, I noticed that one of them had been broken to pieces.
The miller close by wanted some stone for the repair of his mill, so he
gave a bribe to the Turkish guardian, and the marble lion, worth hundreds
of pounds, was demolished for a few piastres.

ANWAR OSHANA
Only two weeks before 28 June WBA Heavyweight Championship
fight between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson in Las Vegas, Nevada it
is most appropriate to mention a new boxing star from Illinois (Chicago)-
The Assyrian IBO Super Middleweight boxer, Anwar Oshana. Anwar has
thus far succeeded in winning two fights and become the most promising
fighter in his division. On 8 February Anwar defeated Patrick Swann in
10 rounds, and on 9 April he was able to win a 12-round fight over Bruce
Rumbloz. Anwar's record at this time is 15-0 and he holds a ranking of
10 in his IBO (International Boxing Organization) division. A Super
Middleweight body weight limit is 168 pounds. Holding the current
IBO Super Middleweight Championship is Mads Larsen of Denmark ranked as
5th in the World's Boxing Organization, after knocking out Shannon Landberg
in the fourth round on May 2. According to an unconfirmed report
Anwar has signed on Evander Holyfield's trainer as his own and will fight
with England's Super Middleweight champion in July. ZENDA will continue
to report on Anwar Oshana's future victories and notify its readers of
his future championship fights.
