Iraqi MP: Syria collapse would endanger all Mideast Christians
The collapse of the Syrian state would be a jihadist triumph and a threat to Christians throughout the Middle East, says Yonadam Kanna, a member of Iraqi National Assembly and Secretary General for the Assyrian Democratic Movement. In his parliamentary capacity as chairman of the Labor and Social Affairs Committee in Iraqi Council of Representatives, Kanna has been traveling Europe to deliver speeches and meet with members of parliaments in Sweden, Germany and Britain. He talks here about the civil war in Iraq's western neighbour, Syria, and the stakes there for Christians throughout the Middle East and Persian Gulf.
