The Assyrian homeland or Assyria (Classical Syriac: ܐܬܘܪ‎, romanized: Āṯūr) is a geo-cultural and historical region situated in Northern Mesopotamia that has been traditionally inhabited by Assyrians. The areas that form the Assyrian homeland are parts of present-day northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran and northeastern Syria.[2] Moreover, the area that had the greatest concentration of Assyrians in the world until recently is located in the Assyrian Triangle.[3]
