(AINA) — Nearly all of the population of  Qaraqosh, 50,000 Assyrians, has 
fled the city amid fighting between ISIS and  Kurds. Syrian Catholic 
Archbishop Mar Youhana Boutros Moshe attempted to  negotiate with ISIS and the 
Kurds 
to convince them to leave the city, but  the negotiations failed. ISIS and 
the ‘Revolutionary Tribes’ (Sunnis) are  set to storm the city. 
According to Bishop Yousif Habash of the  Syriac Orthodox Church in New 
Jersey, Qaraqosh (also known as Baghdede) is  now almost completely abandoned. 
A source reporting from Qaraqosh told AINA  the population has fled to 
Arbel, Dohuk, Alqosh, Tel Kepe, Telsqop and  Ankawa. Monasteries and churches 
are 
filled with displaced Christian  refugees from Baghdede. There is an urgent 
need for food, water, medical aid  and blankets. 
Kurdish forces and ISIS pounded each other  with mortars. The Kurds have 
positioned themselves on the east side of  Qaraqosh, ISIS and the ‘
Revolutionary Tribes’ have stationed themselves on  the west and south side, 
near the 
villages of Tawajna and Qurtaba-Arab and  south of Balawat. 
ISIS has given the Kurdish forces an  ultimatum to leave by 7 P.M. else 
face an attack. 
The city is known by three names: Baghdede  in Assyrian, Hamdaniya in 
Arabic and Qaraqosh in  Turkish.
