Qamishli ܩܡܫܠܝ (or Al Qamishli or Kamishli, sometimes transcribed with accents) is a city in northeast Syria on the border with Turkey and close to Iraq (Ancient Assyria). It has a population of about 200,000. It is part of the Al Hasakah province and the centre of an administrative district. The city was founded by Christian Assyrians, as a result of the horrible brutal genocide that happened to them in the years 1914-1922 in what is now Turkey. Today Assyrians, Arabs, Kurds and Armenians live side by side in the city.
It has an international airport with IATA code KAC.
