Welcome to the Dutch Assyrian Society Site

Assyrians in The Netherlands have established their society, which is called " Dutch Assyrian Society" in 1995.

This is a cultural, social society which aims to strengthen the relationship and solidarity among The Assyrians and of course to maintain The Assyrian culture and language. It also has the goal of tracing and solving the problems which may face The Assyrians community in The Netherlands and of giving them advice whenever necessary.

On May 17th, 2009, Esther de Lange spoke about her activities with the Assyrian Association in Enschede (Netherlands). These were not the usual words of a politician, campaigning for the upcoming EU Parliamentary elections.. She spoke, rather, about the "Assyrians in Iraq" conference which she and her party organized in cooperation with the Assyria Council of EU. She informed the attendees about her past meetings with Assyrians over the years, and the attention she has given to the Assyrian question in Iraq. She also spoke about the need for a university for the Nineveh Plains. And to illustrate this, she wore a T-shirt of Assyrian Heritage which she received from the Assyrians in the European Parliament to illustrate her point: The Assyrians in Assyria need a Nineveh Plains University!
