Assyrian Remembrance Day, also known as Assyrian Martyrs Day, is held on 7 August each year to commemorate Assyrian victims of genocide, persecution, and oppression throughout history. This includes the systematic massacres in Bohtān, Hakkâri, Ṭūr ʿAbdīn, the Nineveh Plain, and Ūrmīyā between 1828 and 1847, as well as the genocidal campaigns that followed in 1895–1896, 1909, and between 1914 and 1925, carried out first by the Ottoman Empire and its successor state, the Republic of Turkey, the Simele Massacre of 1933 in the then Kingdom of Iraq, and the massacre that followed at Ṣorīyā in 1969 under Iraq's Baʿath regime.
