United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF)
Commissioner Nadine Maezna and American Enterprise Institute (AEI) Resident Scholar Michael Rubin have each recently returned from fact-finding visits to Syria and Iraq. Their findings are consistent: Turkey’s increasing political-military aggression poses an unprecedented threat to the existence of Christians and other ethno-religious minorities in the region. The panel, which includes Commissioner Maenza and Dr. Rubin, will share their findings and expert analysis. Mr. Kino Gabriel, the official spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syriac Military
Council (MFS) will provide ground-level perspective.
