'Alqosh, a historic example of coexistence in Kurdistan
ALQOSH, Kurdistan Region – The district of Alqosh in the Nineveh Plains is home to a multitude of ethnic and religious groups, including Christians, Yezidis, Shabaks and Muslims.
Although the town of Alqosh is exclusively Christian, many other groups live in the surrounding villages.
“Alqosh is well-known for being home to different ethnic groups. Christians, Yezidis, Muslim Arabs and Muslim Kurds live across the 42 villages around Alqosh. Jews also lived here in the past,” Mayor Lara Zara told Rudaw.'
