A nation without strong institutions is a weak nation

“A nation without strong institutions is a weak nation”. This is what Mr. Hermiz Tiro, a prominent Assyrian politician said. He believes we need strong institutions and we should invite our intellectuals and specialists to establish specialised institutions and widen the participation in them, because the more participation, the stronger they are.


Mr. Tiro affirmed that among our people we have great potential, but they work individually. He stresses that instead, we need to dissolve the individual mind with the collective mind. He added that the nation is an invisible entity but it can be felt. The nation stands on two pillars, the first of which is the infrastructure, which is made up of language, religion, history and culture, and most important of all this is the land.

The second is the surface structure, which is made up of parties, organisations and institutions, and it is a dynamic structure.

Both structures are linked by the person who is dialectical. While we find in our nation that everything in the surface structure is similar to the other, that is, there is no intellectual conflict or contradiction in order to establish dialectics and there will be development.
