<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Bashiqa''' ({{lang-ar|بعشيقة}}, {{lang-syr|ܒܝܬ ܥܫܝܩܐ}}), is an historically [[Assyrian people|Assyrian]] town located in the [[Mosul District]] of the [[Ninawa Governorate]] in [[Assyrian homeland|Assyria]], northern [[Iraq]]. Its name comes from the [[Assyrian Neo-Aramaic]] words "Bet" and "Ashiqa," meaning "House of lovers." Bashiqa's residents are mostly [[Kurd]]s (Yezidis and Shabaks) as well as a minority of [[Assyrian people|Assyrian]]s, and [[Arabs]] [[Muslim]]s.<ref>[http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/tag/bashiqa/]</ref> Bashiqa is famous for its olive trees, olive oil, and soap. It is also famous with its onion, pickles and arak. It used to be a tourist destination to the locals in Mosul and Iraqis in general. Bashiqa is surrounded with a small mountain to the north and farms of olives all around the town.<br />

In 2007, the town square was the location of the [[Murder of Du'a Khalil Aswad]], a [[Yazidi]] woman who was stoned to death by a crowd.<br />
