Barzan, Iraq
The town of Barzan (Kurdish: بارزان) is located along the Great Zab in Erbil Governorate, Iraq. It is the birthplace of Sheikh Ahmed Barzani and Kurdish leader Mustafa Barzani.
The Assyrians of Barzan
Prior to the 1917, there was a sizable Assyrian presence in the city, with two Chaldean Catholic churches. However, after the Assyrian Genocide, many Assyrians of Barzan were not allowed to return to their homes in Barzan and were resettled in the village of Rumta, located around modern-day Dohuk. However, one Assyrian village near Barzan named Bidial appears to have rebuilt its church and to be at least partially populated.

Iraq (/ɪˈræk/, 
i/ɪˈrɑːk/, or /aɪˈræk/; Arabic: العراق al-‘Irāq, Kurdish: Êraq), officially the Republic of Iraq (Arabic: 
جمهورية العراق Jumhūrīyat al-‘Irāq; Kurdish: كۆماری عێراق Komar-i ‘Êraq), is a country in Western Asia. The country borders Turkey to the north, Iran to the east, Kuwait to the southeast, Saudi Arabia to the south, Jordan to the southwest, and Syria to the west. The southern part of Iraq is within the Arabian Peninsula. The capital, Baghdad, is in the centre of the country and its largest city. The largest ethnic groups in Iraq are Arabs and Kurds. Other ethnic groups include Assyrians, Turkmen, Shabakis, Yazidis, Armenians, Mandeans, Circassians, and Kawliya. Around 95% of the country's 36 million citizens are Shia or Sunni Muslims, with Christianity, Yarsan, Yezidism, and Mandeanism also present.
Iraq has a narrow section of coastline measuring 58 km (36 mi) on the northern Persian Gulf and its territory encompasses the Mesopotamian Alluvial Plain, the northwestern end of the Zagros mountain range, and the eastern part of the Syrian Desert. Two major rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates, run south through the centre of Iraq and flow into the Shatt al-Arab near the Persian Gulf. These rivers provide Iraq with significant amounts of fertile land.

Mandatory Iraq
The Kingdom of Iraq under British Administration or Mandatory Iraq (Arabic: الانتداب البريطاني على العراق al-Intidāb al-Brīṭānī ‘Alá al-‘Irāq) was created in 1921 following the 1920 Iraqi Revolt against the proposed British Mandate of Mesopotamia, and enacted via the 1922 Anglo-Iraqi Treaty.
Faisal ibn Husayn, who had been proclaimed King of Syria by a Syrian National Congress in Damascus in March 1920, was ejected by the French in July of the same year. Faisal was then granted by the British the territory of Iraq, to rule it as a kingdom, with the British Royal Air Force (RAF) retaining certain military control, though de facto; the territory remained under British administration until 1932.
The civil government of postwar Iraq was headed originally by the High Commissioner, Sir Percy Cox, and his deputy, Colonel Arnold Wilson. British reprisals after the murder of a British officer in Najaf failed to restore order. The most striking problem facing the British was the growing anger of the nationalists, who continued to fight against the imposition of British authority. British administration had yet to be established in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia (/ˌmɛsəpəˈteɪmiə/, from the Ancient Greek: Μεσοποταμία "[land] between rivers"; from Ancient Armenian՝ Միջագետք(Mijagetq), Arabic: بلاد الرافدين bilād ar-rāfidayn; Persian: میانرودان miyān rodān; Syriac: ܒܝܬ ܢܗܪܝܢ Beth Nahrain "land of rivers") is a name for the area of the Tigris–Euphrates river system, roughly corresponding to modern-day Iraq, Syria and Kuwait, including regions along the Turkish-Syrian and Iran–Iraq borders.
Widely considered to be the one of the cradles of civilization by the Western world, Bronze Age Mesopotamia included Sumer and the Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian empires, all native to the territory of modern-day Iraq. In the Iron Age, it was controlled by the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian Empires.
The indigenous Sumerians and Akkadians (including Assyrians and Babylonians) dominated Mesopotamia from the beginning of written history (c. 3100 BC) to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC, and after his death, it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire.

JORDAN: SADDAM'S BROTHER DENIES DEFECTION STORIES
(30 Nov 1998) Arabic/Nat Saddam Hussein's half-brother insists he is not at odds with the Iraqi president and says media reports suggesting he has joined the opposition are "mere fabrications". This weekend, Barzan al-Takriti returned home to Iraq from Switzerland - where he has been heading Iraq's mission to the United Nations in Geneva for 10 years. The trip ended weeks of speculation that al-Takriti had fallen out with Saddam and was seeking political asylum in Europe. Barzan al-Tikriti spoke with reporters on his arrival in Amman from Switzerland en route home. Al-Tikriti headed Iraq's mission to the United Nations in Geneva for 10 years. But he was among 30 Iraqi ambassadors and diplomats recalled to Baghdad over the summer. He had until the end of November to le...

STORYLINE:
Coalition warplanes bombed a building early on Friday believed to be occupied by Saddam Hussein's half brother, a close adviser who allegedly helped stash billions of dollars abroad for the Iraqi president.
US Central Command said forces launched six satellite-guided bombs at a building near Ar Ramadi, about 60 miles (95 kilometres) west of Baghdad, in an attack on Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti.
In a statement, the military said the 0545 GMT attack was part of "a continuing effort to degrade the Hussein regime" and that damage assessment was ongoing.
US Marine Major Brad Bartelt, a Central Command spokesman, said the building targeted on Friday was an intelligence service operating site.
Al-Tikriti was allegedly the chief organiser of a clandestine group of companies and funds handling the Iraqi leader's wealth, according to the Coalition for International Justice, a nonprofit organisation based in The Hague, Netherlands, and in Washington.
He was chief of Saddam's secret police in the 1980s and then Iraq's ambassador to UN offices in Geneva for nine years.
While in Geneva, he set up the Iraqi president's financial network, the organisation says.

STORYLINE:
Saddam Hussein's half brother and the former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court were hanged before dawn in Baghdad on Monday, Prosecutor Munqith al-Faroon said, two weeks and two days after the former Iraqi dictator was executed in a chaotic scene that has drawn worldwide criticism.
Barzan Ibrahim, Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, had been found guilty along with Saddam of the killing of 148 Shiite Muslims after a 1982 assassination attempt on the former leader in the town of Dujail north of Baghdad.
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh confirmed the executions, saying those attending
the hangings included a prosecutor, a judge and a physician.
"In a rare incident the head of the accused Barzan Ibrahim al-Hassan was separated from his body during the execution," al-Dabbagh told reporters.
The two men were to have been hanged along with Saddam on December 30, but Iraqi authorities decided to execute Saddam alone on what National Security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie called a "special day."
The executions reportedly occurred in the same Saddam-era military intelligence headquarters building in north Baghdad where the former leader was hanged two days before the end of 2006, according to an Iraqi general, who would not allow use of his name because he was not authorised to release the information.
The building is located in the Shiite neighbourhood of Kazimiyah.
Saddam's execution became an unruly scene that brought worldwide criticism of the Iraqi government.
Video of the execution, recorded on a cell phone camera, showed the former dictator being taunted on the gallows by Shiites.

STORYLINE:
Saddam Hussein's half-brother, former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim, denied he took part in crackdown against Shiites in the 1980s as he testified on Wednesday for the first time in the trial of the former Iraqi leader and members of his regime.
Ibrahim, wearing a traditional red Arab headdress, was questioned for more than three hours by the chief judge and prosecutor, who presented him with half a dozen documents and memos from the Mukhabarat intelligence agency at the time about the crackdown.
One after another, Ibrahim insisted that the documents were fake and that his signatures on them were forged.
After Ibrahim's testimony, chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman ordered a half-hour break. Saddam was expected to testify after the break.
The former Iraqi leader and his regime officials are charged with killing 148 Shiites, illegal imprisonment and torture in a crackdown launched after an assassination attempt against Saddam in the Shiite village of Dujail in 1982. They face possible execution by hanging if convicted.
In previous sessions, Dujail residents have testified that Ibrahim personally participating in torturing them during their imprisonment at the Baghdad headquarters of the Mukhabarat intelligence agency, which Ibrahim headed.
One woman claimed Ibrahim kicked her in the chest while she was hung upside down and naked by her interrogators.
But Ibrahim insisted the Mukhabarat agency was not involved in the investigation that followed the July 8, 1982, shooting attack on Saddam's motorcade in Dujail and denied any personal role.
Ibrahim insisted that the General Security agency, not the Mukhabarat, carried out the Dujail crackdown.

STORYLINE:
Saddam Hussein's half-brother, former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim, denied he took part in crackdown against Shiites in the 1980s as he testified on Wednesday for the first time in the trial of the former Iraqi leader and members of his regime.
Ibrahim, wearing a traditional red Arab headdress, was questioned for more than three hours by the chief judge and prosecutor, who presented him with half a dozen documents and memos from the Mukhabarat intelligence agency at the time about the crackdown.
One after another, Ibrahim insisted that the documents were fake and that his signatures on them were forged.
After Ibrahim's testimony, chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman ordered a half-hour break. Saddam was expected to testify after the break.
The former Iraqi leader and his regime officials are charged with killing 148 Shiites, illegal imprisonment and torture in a crackdown launched after an assassination attempt against Saddam in the Shiite village of Dujail in 1982. They face possible execution by hanging if convicted.
In previous sessions, Dujail residents have testified that Ibrahim personally participating in torturing them during their imprisonment at the Baghdad headquarters of the Mukhabarat intelligence agency, which Ibrahim headed.
One woman claimed Ibrahim kicked her in the chest while she was hung upside down and naked by her interrogators.

(30 Nov 1998) Arabic/Nat
Saddam Hussein's half-brother insists he is not at odds with the Iraqi president and says media reports suggesting he has joined the opposition are "mere fabrications".
This weekend, Barzan al-Takriti returned home to Iraq from Switzerland - where he has been heading Iraq's mission to the United Nations in Geneva for 10 years.
The trip ended weeks of speculation that al-Takriti had fallen out with Saddam and was seeking political asylum in Europe.
Barzan al-Tikriti spoke with reporters on his arrival in Amman from Switzerland en route home.
Al-Tikriti headed Iraq's mission to the United Nations in Geneva for 10 years.
But he was among 30 Iraqi ambassadors and diplomats recalled to Baghdad over the summer.
He had until the end of November to leave Geneva under Swiss laws that allow U-N diplomats to stay on for three months after the end of their tenure.
There had been recurring rumours from Iraqi exiles that al-Tikriti was seeking to defect - rumours he vehemently denies.
Al-Tikriti has especially been angered by reports in Arab newspapers suggesting he plans to defect with (B) billions of dollars from Saddam's private funds abroad.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"Your cliques in the West say sometimes that Barzan is responsible for Iraq's money, but other times they say Saddam is (responsible), as if Saddam is a banker and not the country's leader who is looking to be the nation's leader. Sometimes they say that Barzan is, again, responsible for intelligence gathering in Europe, other times they say that Barzan is preparing all the equipment needed for Iraq's military strategic force. They kept saying this for years. After that they started saying that Barzan is a defector and Barzan is against the regime and that he is against Saddam Hussein and that if he goes back to Iraq he will be killed, or he will be executed and that he has problems with just about everybody."
SUPER CAPTION: Barzan al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half brother
He said the rumours were "mere fabrications".
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"I was not a refugee or a deportee, but an ambassador for my country abroad and with a mission to run and daily contacts maintained with Iraq and its ministries such as with the Minister of Foreign Affairs."
SUPER CAPTION: Barzan al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half brother
Forty-six-year-old Al-Tikriti says he delayed his trip home because his wife, Ahlam, was being treated in Switzerland for breast cancer.
She died of the disease earlier this month.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"I am not here (in Jordan) for work, I completed my mission in Switzerland and my personal situation ended tragically (with the death of his wife) and so there is nothing else for me to do there (in Switzerland) and that's why I am returning to Iraq.
SUPER CAPTION: Barzan al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half brother
His defection would have been a major blow to Saddam, whose inner circle has been weakened by the defection of a number of aides and family members in recent years.
Defectors have not fared well in Iraq.
Saddam's sons-in-law - Saddam Kamel al-Majid and his brother, Lieutenant General Hussein Kamel al-Majid - were killed by family members in February 1996 after they returned to Iraq from Jordan, where they had fled in August 1995.

STORYLINE
Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein has again insisted at his trial in Baghdad on Thursday that he has been beaten by his American captors, calling Washington's denials of abuse lies.
In the kind of theatrical exchange seen throughout the trial, an assistant prosecutor asked to resign and the defence team threatened to leave court.
Saddam's half-brother and co-defendant, Barazan Ibrahim, who was head of Iraqi intelligence during the Dujail killings, had a heated exchange with prosecutors, accusing them of belonging to the Baath Party, Saddam's former party, and the secret service in an effort to discredit them in the eyes of Iraqis.
One assistant prosecutor threatened to resign over Ibrahim's allegations, but the judge wouldn't allow it.
"The biggest insult to me in a court session is to be accused of being a member of the bloody party," he said.
The former Iraqi leader and seven co-defendants are on trial for the deaths of more than 140 Shiites after the attempt on Saddam's life in the town of Dujail, north of Baghdad.

STORYLINE:
Coalition warplanes bombed a building early on Friday believed to be occupied by Saddam Hussein's half brother, a close adviser who allegedly helped stash billions of dollars abroad for the Iraqi president.
US Central Command said forces launched six satellite-guided bombs at a building near Ar Ramadi, about 60 miles (95 kilometres) west of Baghdad, in an attack on Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti.
In a statement, the military said the 0545 GMT attack was part of "a continuing effort to degrade the Hussein regime" and that damage assessment was ongoing.
US Marine Major Brad Bartelt, a Central Command spokesman, said the building targeted on Friday was an intelligence service operating site.
Al-Tikriti was allegedly the chief organiser of a clandestine group of companies and funds handling the Iraqi leader's wealth, according to the Coalition for International Justice, a nonprofit organisation based in The Hague, Netherlands, and in Washington.
He was chief of Saddam's secret police in the 1980s and then Iraq's ambassador to UN offices in Geneva for nine years.
While in Geneva, he set up the Iraqi president's financial network, the organisation says.

STORYLINE:
Saddam Hussein's half brother and the former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court were hanged before dawn in Baghdad on Monday, Prosecutor Munqith al-Faroon said, two weeks and two days after the former Iraqi dictator was executed in a chaotic scene that has drawn worldwide criticism.
Barzan Ibrahim, Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, had been found guilty along with Saddam of the killing of 148 Shiite Muslims after a 1982 assassination attempt on the former leader in the town of Dujail north of Baghdad.
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh confirmed the executions, saying those attending
the hangings included a prosecutor, a judge and a physician.
"In a rare incident the head of the accused Barzan Ibrahim al-Hassan was separated from his body during the execution," al-Dabbagh told reporters.
The two men were to have been hanged along with Saddam on December 30, but Iraqi authorities decided to execute Saddam alone on what National Security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie called a "special day."
The executions reportedly occurred in the same Saddam-era military intelligence headquarters building in north Baghdad where the former leader was hanged two days before the end of 2006, according to an Iraqi general, who would not allow use of his name because he was not authorised to release the information.
The building is located in the Shiite neighbourhood of Kazimiyah.
Saddam's execution became an unruly scene that brought worldwide criticism of the Iraqi government.
Video of the execution, recorded on a cell phone camera, showed the former dictator being taunted on the gallows by Shiites.

STORYLINE:
Two of Saddam Hussein's co-defendants, the half brother of Saddam Hussein, former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, were executed in January. Both were previously convicted and sentenced to hang on 5 November but the verdict was upheld by the appellate court on 26 December. The two men were sentenced to death alongside Saddam Hussein for the killing of 148 Sunni Muslims from the town of Dujail after a failed 1982 assassination attempt against Saddam in the northern city.
Barzan Ibrahim, one of three half brothers of Saddam Hussein, was formerly head of the Iraqi secret service, the Mukhabarat, and was also Iraq's former representative to the United Nations until 1998. Awad Hamed al-Bandar presided over the Revolutionary Court's death sentencing after the attempt on Saddam's life in Dujail.

STORYLINE:
Saddam Hussein's half-brother, former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim, denied he took part in crackdown against Shiites in the 1980s as he testified on Wednesday for the first time in the trial of the former Iraqi leader and members of his regime.
Ibrahim, wearing a traditional red Arab headdress, was questioned for more than three hours by the chief judge and prosecutor, who presented him with half a dozen documents and memos from the Mukhabarat intelligence agency at the time about the crackdown.
One after another, Ibrahim insisted that the documents were fake and that his signatures on them were forged.
After Ibrahim's testimony, chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman ordered a half-hour break. Saddam was expected to testify after the break.
The former Iraqi leader and his regime officials are charged with killing 148 Shiites, illegal imprisonment and torture in a crackdown launched after an assassination attempt against Saddam in the Shiite village of Dujail in 1982. They face possible execution by hanging if convicted.
In previous sessions, Dujail residents have testified that Ibrahim personally participating in torturing them during their imprisonment at the Baghdad headquarters of the Mukhabarat intelligence agency, which Ibrahim headed.
One woman claimed Ibrahim kicked her in the chest while she was hung upside down and naked by her interrogators.
But Ibrahim insisted the Mukhabarat agency was not involved in the investigation that followed the July 8, 1982, shooting attack on Saddam's motorcade in Dujail and denied any personal role.
Ibrahim insisted that the General Security agency, not the Mukhabarat, carried out the Dujail crackdown.

(30 Nov 1998) Arabic/Nat
Saddam Hussein's half-brother insists he is not at odds with the Iraqi president and says media reports suggesting he has joined the opposition are "mere fabrications".
This weekend, Barzan al-Takriti returned home to Iraq from Switzerland - where he has been heading Iraq's mission to the United Nations in Geneva for 10 years.
The trip ended weeks of speculation that al-Takriti had fallen out with Saddam and was seeking political asylum in Europe.
Barzan al-Tikriti spoke with reporters on his arrival in Amman from Switzerland en route home.
Al-Tikriti headed Iraq's mission to the United Nations in Geneva for 10 years.
But he was among 30 Iraqi ambassadors and diplomats recalled to Baghdad over the summer.
He had until the end of November to leave Geneva under Swiss laws that allow U-N diplomats to stay on for three months after the end of their tenure.
There had been recurring rumours from Iraqi exiles that al-Tikriti was seeking to defect - rumours he vehemently denies.
Al-Tikriti has especially been angered by reports in Arab newspapers suggesting he plans to defect with (B) billions of dollars from Saddam's private funds abroad.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"Your cliques in the West say sometimes that Barzan is responsible for Iraq's money, but other times they say Saddam is (responsible), as if Saddam is a banker and not the country's leader who is looking to be the nation's leader. Sometimes they say that Barzan is, again, responsible for intelligence gathering in Europe, other times they say that Barzan is preparing all the equipment needed for Iraq's military strategic force. They kept saying this for years. After that they started saying that Barzan is a defector and Barzan is against the regime and that he is against Saddam Hussein and that if he goes back to Iraq he will be killed, or he will be executed and that he has problems with just about everybody."

He said the rumours were "mere fabrications".
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"I was not a refugee or a deportee, but an ambassador for my country abroad and with a mission to run and daily contacts maintained with Iraq and its ministries such as with the Minister of Foreign Affairs."
SUPER CAPTION: Barzan al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half brother
Forty-six-year-old Al-Tikriti says he delayed his trip home because his wife, Ahlam, was being treated in Switzerland for breast cancer.
She died of the disease earlier this month.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"I am not here (in Jordan) for work, I completed my mission in Switzerland and my personal situation ended tragically (with the death of his wife) and so there is nothing else for me to do there (in Switzerland) and that's why I am returning to Iraq.
SUPER CAPTION: Barzan al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half brother
His defection would have been a major blow to Saddam, whose inner circle has been weakened by the defection of a number of aides and family members in recent years.
Defectors have not fared well in Iraq.
Saddam's sons-in-law - Saddam Kamel al-Majid and his brother, Lieutenant General Hussein Kamel al-Majid - were killed by family members in February 1996 after they returned to Iraq from Jordan, where they had fled in August 1995.

2. SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Defendant Barazan Ibrahim, Saddam's half brother / Chief Judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin and prosecutor (no name available)
BARAZAN: (starts off camera over pictures of judge and later continues over pictures of prosecutors listening)
"Why, why, your honour, the gentleman, the three gentleman suffer from a complex (meaning they are ashamed of belonging to the Baath party). The man in the centre was a high ranking Baath party official, the other two were members of the party too. Why do they consider this a complex?"
JUDGE interrupts: (over pictures of Barazan)
"What's this got to do with the case?"
BARAZAN replies: (partly over pictures of prosecutor smiling)
"Because we are Baathists, they want to put pressure on us to declare them innocent."
JUDGE says: "You can write this down." (over picture of prosecutor smiling)
BARAZAN continues but he's interrupted: (over picture of prosecutor smiling)
"Moreover, they are now... "
PROSECUTOR: (over pictures of other prosecutor)
"This is the biggest insult to me in a court session, to be accused of being a member of the bloody Baath party."
BARAZAN: (starting off camera):
"You were an agent of the secret service."
JUDGE: (off camera over pictures of Barazan)
"How could you accuse..."
PROSECUTOR: (over picture of Barazan)
"Not with the intelligence service."
BARAZAN: (on camera)
"The three of them where agents of the secret service."
JUDGE: (off camera, over picture of Barazan)
"Sit down."
BARAZAN: (on camera)
"And I know their numbers, your honour."
PROSECUTOR: (starts off camera, then on camera)
"This is the biggest insult to me in a court session, to be accused of being a member of the bloody party."
BARAZAN: (off camera over picture of prosecutor)
"It is the party which you should be honoured with, it is not a bloody party. It is the party of democracy and justice. The party of high moral values."
JUDGE: (off camera over picture of prosecutor sitting down)
"Enough, enough."

STORYLINE
Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein has again insisted at his trial in Baghdad on Thursday that he has been beaten by his American captors, calling Washington's denials of abuse lies.
In the kind of theatrical exchange seen throughout the trial, an assistant prosecutor asked to resign and the defence team threatened to leave court.
Saddam's half-brother and co-defendant, Barazan Ibrahim, who was head of Iraqi intelligence during the Dujail killings, had a heated exchange with prosecutors, accusing them of belonging to the Baath Party, Saddam's former party, and the secret service in an effort to discredit them in the eyes of Iraqis.
One assistant prosecutor threatened to resign over Ibrahim's allegations, but the judge wouldn't allow it.
"The biggest insult to me in a court session is to be accused of being a member of the bloody party," he said.
The former Iraqi leader and seven co-defendants are on trial for the deaths of more than 140 Shiites after the attempt on Saddam's life in the town of Dujail, north of Baghdad.

An Iraqi court on Tuesday condemned Saddam Hussein's notorious hatchet-man "Chemical Ali" Hassan al-Majid to death for war crimes over the crackdown of Shiites during their ill-fated 1991 uprising.
Barzan, Iraq
The town of Barzan (Kurdish: بارزان) is located along the Great Zab in Erbil Governorate, Iraq. It is the birthplace of Sheikh Ahmed Barzani and Kurdish leader Mustafa Barzani.
The Assyrians of Barzan
Prior to the 1917, there was a sizable Assyrian presence in the city, with two Chaldean Catholic churches. However, after the Assyrian Genocide, many Assyrians of Barzan were not allowed to return to their homes in Barzan and were resettled in the village of Rumta, located around modern-day Dohuk. However, one Assyrian village near Barzan named Bidial appears to have rebuilt its church and to be at least partially populated.
