Tur Abdin means "the mountain of the servants of God" in Aramaic. It is a region in south-eastern Turkey, close to the Syrian border, and forms the northern part of ancient Beth Nahrin, as Mesopotamia, the fertile crescent between the Eufrat and Tigris rivers, was called. Everywhere you can see the ruins of Christian villages and they all tell the same story....

...No one knows the future of the Mountain of the Servants of God and it is tobe hoped that the moment has come for the Turkish government to recognise and protect the cultural diversity of its country.
