Bethnahrin National Council ܡܘܬܒܐ ܐܘܡܬܝܐ ܕܒܝܬܢܗܪܝܢ
The Patriotic Revolutionary Organization of Bethnahrin was formed in the 1990s by Assyrian-Syriac nationalists who previously fought within the PKK against Turkey.[2]
The group carried out its first attack alongside the PKK against a Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) military compound in the town of Kasre on 17 July 1999, where 39 KDP Peshmerga fighters were killed and 20 injured.[4] Three days later a second attack was carried out by the group in which several of Massoud Barzani's fighters were killed when an army truck driving on a bridge between Kasre and Haci Umran was blown up by the PROB. The group claimed both attacks were to avenge the death of Assyrian Helen A. Sawa, who was raped and killed by the Peshmerga.[4]
On 24 July 2000, approximately a hundred members of the PROB forced entry in a governmental building in Lausanne, Switzerland. PROB wanted to attract the attention of the Swiss government and media to issues relating to the Assyrian-Syriac people, especially in relation to their treatment in Turkey. They emphasized how the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne denied the Assyrian-Syriac people in Turkey their national rights and oppression faced by Assyrian-Syriacs in Turkey.[5]
At its first congress in 2000, the PROB reorganized as the Bethnahrin Freedom Party,[2] which was listed as a terrorist organization by the Turkish government in 2001. According to Wladimir van Wilgenburg, the GHB's founder, Numan Ogur, was kidnapped in 2003 after an attempt to try to leave the organization.[3] During the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the GHB cooperated with Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) Peshmerga, hoping to gain political influence in Iraq.[2]
