The ADM and ADO leadership met in Iraq between June 27 and 28 to address the current ethnic and national issues concerning the Assyrians in Iraq. The two sides stressed the importance of unity and directing their efforts through mutual national endeavors in order to secure and guarantee the legitimate ethnic rights of the Syriac-speaking groups in the new constitution of Iraq. This meeting materialized after several dialogues that took place with the various political groups, religious, cultural, and civic institutions representative of all Christian denominations in Iraq.
The two groups decided to invite all political organizations, civic and religious institutions to the Congress. A preparatory committee will be sending out formal invitations that will be accompanied by a working agenda. The working agenda will include the center issues or axis of concern, which will be studied by the participants in order to form the final structure through the various committees that will emerge from the Congress. All participants will have the opportunity to express and convey their vision and thoughts according to the statement released.
