Assyrian stalkers

Those Assyrians has to stop posting nonsense about our villages. I belong to the original Christian Basoki family. We settled this village before the other families and Kurds moved to Keferbe. We identify ourselves as Arameans and not as Assyrians. We originally come from the Levant area and have nothing to do with Assyrians from Mesopotamia. We will undo any change about our beautiful village. 2A02:A45F:ADD7:1:5234:35AF:3F1:A64A (talk) 23:29, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I am neither Assyrian nor Aramean, but have seen the edit warring ongoing. I know that ethnic affiliations can be a touchy and divisive subject, and, while I don't want to disparage your first-hand testimony, it would be great to have verifiable sources talking about your village's Aramean population, as word of mouth isn't the standard for sourcing on Wikipedia.

We are the original family of this beautiful village and we have never chosen to be called Assyrian. We have the right to express ourself as Aramean and we have the right to do so. We are originally from Aramean lands around Antioch and our DNa does not match with Assyrianism nor with Mesopotamia. This village was empty before our Basoki family came around 800 years ago. We identify ourself as Aramean and our DNA confirms this. 2A02:A45F:ADD7:1:56B8:AEE3:67D4:B626 (talk) 20:50, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

We are NOT Assyrians !!!

Stop calling us Assyrians!!! Blocks don't work! We are Arameans. You are literally changing the history of my people. We fought in WW1 against the Kurds as proud Suriac/Aramean. They were killed because of their entity and religion. They didn't died for the Assyrian cause! We will never surrender tot other entities then ARAMEAN!
