  • Summary

    The 1975 Algiers Agreement between Iran and Iraq brought an end to Iranian support of the Kurdish opposition, marking a turning point in the Iraqi regime’s conciliatory policies toward the Assyrian community. Meanwhile, Saddam Hussein had risen to power within the Baʿth, gaining the presidency in June 1979. The Iran–Iraq War heightened the Baʿthification of society by the state. As a result, Assyrians began to experience the reversal of conciliatory policies towards their community, which led in turn to the reconstitution of the Assyrian nationalist movement as a whole.
