Bugün tam 2485 gündür, toprağa hayat veren, ağaç eken babam #HurmüzDiril'den haber yok. Katiller karar aldılar ve uyguladılar. Bu cinayet birden fazla kişi ile, planlı, organizeli olarak işlendi. Benim babamın bir mezarı bile yokken asil failler dışarıda hayatlarına devam ediyorlar. Babamın akıbeti ortaya çıkarılmadan, tüm failler, onları koruyanlarla birlikte yargılanıp cezalandırılmadan susmayacak, davanın peşini bırakmayacağız. Cinayeti aydınlatmakla yükümlü herkes cinayeti araştırıp delillendirmek yerine , bir sanığın ağızından çıkacak itirafa baktı. Sanık itiraf etmedi ve gerçekler açığa çıkmadan dosyanın üzeri kapatıldı. @SirnakValiligi @sirnakjandarma @beytkaymakam @adalet_bakanlik @TC_icisleri @abakingurlek @mustafaciftcitr @tcbestepe @jandarma @kubrayigitbasi @RTErdogan @SOSCdOrient #HurmüzDiriliBulun 📍Şırnak

Actor Pietro Sarubbi, who played Barabbas in the film The Passion of the Christ, was an atheist before this scene. He mentioned: 'When he looked into my eyes, his eyes had no hatred or resentment, only mercy and love.' According to him, he no longer saw Jim, but Jesus himself."

Assyrian heritage still standing. (2nd century ) St. Mary’s Church of Urmia one of the oldest churches in the world, tied to the tradition of the Three Magi who came to honor Jesus and returned east Built by my Assyrian people and still standing Marco Polo even wrote about it
You've probably heard the story of the Three Wise Men who traveled to Bethlehem to honor the newborn Jesus (PBUH), but did you know that they established a church in Iran upon their return? This is it: St. Mary Church in Urmia, Iran, built in the 1st century AD.

The party that spoke when most were afraid to speak, gave hope to its people, fought against the enemies of its people, and gave martyrs in its struggle against continuing oppressive regimes. Happy 47th Anniversary to the Assyrian Democratic Movement. The struggle continues.
