European Syriac Union
The European Syriac Union is an umbrella organization of various Syrian-Aramaic-speaking political organizations and cultural associations in Europe , which was founded in May 2004. The group came into being after the prohibition of the Mesopotamia Freedom Party (Gabo d'Hirutho d'Bethnahrin, GHB, formerly: Patriotic Revolutionary Organization of Bethnahrin, PROB / Bethnahrin Patriotic Revolution Organization). The organization, based in Brussels , operates the Suroyo TV channel .
prehistory
The Mesopotamia National Council was an organization in Turkey that fought for the recognition of a separate state for the Syriacs in Beth Nahrain. After the extensive suppression of the Kurdistan Workers' Party , the Council's sponsor, the Mesopotamia Freedom Party, was also the target of repression. Since 2003 the Mesopotamia Council is classified as a terrorist organization and disbanded. In 2004, 242 delegates founded the European Syriac Union to represent the interests of the various groups in Europe.
