Assyria-North Syria relations (21st Century Crisis)

Assyria-North Syria relations (Syriac: ܚܢܵܡܘܼܬ݂ܵܐ ܐܵܬ݂ܘܿܪ-ܓܲܪܒܝܵܐܐܵܪܵܡ, Arabic: العلاقات آشور وشمال سوريا, French: Rapports Assyrie-Syrie du Nord) refer to the political relations between the Kingdom of North Syria and the Federation of Assyria. Assyria currently has an embassy in Aleppo and a General-Consulate in Latakia, and North Syria currently has an embassy in Mosul.

Relations between the peoples of what is today Assyria and North Syria span back millenia to the ancient Mesopatamian and Persian Empires. In the modern day, Assyria and North Syria currently have rather cordial relations, with periods of tensions, propagated mostly by the people of the two countries, rather than the governments themselves - mostly concerning Assyria's seemingly anti-Islam government, and its allyship with the Soviet Union, and vice versa with North Syria.

According to a BBC World Poll, 74% of Assyrians view North Syria in a negative light while a 24% express a positive view, while in North Syria 53% of North Syrians view Assyria in a positive light with 40% expressing negative views.

Despite efforts by the governments of both nations to remain united, huge-scale hostilities exist between the people of the two countries, especially after the 2016 Christmas Season attacks in Assyria, perpetuated by Turkish-speaking Islamists from North Syria and consequent deportation of more than 345 North Syrians from Assyria.
