But you forget about the Assyrian Christians/ Chaldean Christians centered around Mosul. These are the remnants of the ancient Church of the East/Nestorian Church that once spanned from Ctesiphon (Baghdad) to Mongolia and India and China and in the 9th century was 30% of world Christianity. They were devastated by genocide by the Turkic peoples especially Timur-e-Lang who slaughtered them mercilessly (he killed off 5% of the world's population)
And you forget about Mandaens as well.
