I (Just like ASHOOR) Believe that they saw what happened to Assyrians in Baghdad / Mosul, and the Assyrians right now in Al Hasakah Governorate, mainly Khabur, are guarding their towns and villages with heavy machine guns and automatic rifles. I also hope that the Assyrian Democratic Organization (ADO) Can further their support to the Assyrian militias.
But at the same time, many Assyrians (From Damascus and Aleppo Provinces) Are migrating to Northern Iraq (Particularly Nineveh Plains and Nuhadra / Duhok) So we will see many Assyrians from the west side of the Syrian Country migrate to Al Hasakah / Qamishli or North Iraq... and there is a saying that if the FSA take control of Al Hasakah, then 50,000 Assyrians will cross the border to Mardin or Northern Iraq.
I actually have Assyrian friends that live in Khabur doing guard work, and they say that IF they do leave or are forced to leave Khabur, they will head to Northern Iraq, mainly Nuhadra.
However, lets hope instead we get a strong base in North Eastern Syria
