In 1909, Ashur started publishing a Turkish-language newspaper named Murshid Athuriyion ("the spiritual guide of the Assyrians"). He also composed poems in Armenian and Turkish. Ashur and his brother Donabed along with other Assyrian leaders from the town of Harput were arrested on April 19, 1915 and were all later hanged. His children and grandchildren have written numerous books on him. On June 24, 2006, Ashur Yusef's great-grandson gave an emotional speech at the "Assyrian Society of UK" regarding the Assyrian genocide and praised UK politicians Councillor Mike Elliot and Stephen Pound MP for their efforts on the issue.

Im Jahre 1909, nach der Jungtürkischen Revolution, begann Ashour Effendi eine türkischsprachige Zeitung zu veröffentlichen, die Murschid Athuriyion („der spirituelle Leiter der Assyrer“). In einem Artikel vom 20. Oktober 1914 schrieb er: „The hindrance before the advancement of the Assyrian people was not so much the attacks from without as it was from within, the doctrinal and sectarian disputes and struggles, like Monophysitism (One nature of Christ) Dyophysitism (Two natures of Christ) is a good example, these caused division, spiritually, and nationally, among the people who quarreled among themselves even to the point of shedding blood. To this very day the Assyrians are still known by various names, such as Nestorians, Jacobites, Chaldeans“ Ashour Effendi und sein Bruder Donabed Effendi wurden am 19. April 1915 zusammen mit anderen assyrischen Intellektuellen aus dem Ort Charpert festgenommen, gefoltert und später alle zusammen in Diyarbakır erhängt. Vor seiner Hinrichtung konnte Ashour Yousef Effendi aus dem Gefängnis heraus noch einen Brief an seinen Bruder Hanna Yousef Effendi schreiben. Ashour Yousef Effendis Kinder und Enkelkinder schrieben zahlreiche Bücher über ihn. Am 24. Juni 2006 hielt Ashour Yousefs Urenkel Tigran Hovsepyan eine emotionale Rede in der „Assyrian Society of UK“ über den Völkermord an den Aramäern/Assyrern und lobte Politiker aus dem Vereinigten Königreich, vor allem Councillor Mike Elliot und den Abgeordneten für ihre Bemühungen um dieses Thema.
