Every year in April, Assyrians from around the world gather in Duhok, Northern Iraq, to celebrate the start of their new year.
This event is known as the "purple march," named after the thousands of participants who carry the purple flag of the Assyrian Democratic Movement (ADM) alongside the Assyrian flag.
