aynhaylo the aramean movement is based on our real heritage and history which forms this strong foundation your invented assyrian ethnic identity has no foundation among the syriac christians suryoye before the th century once again the syriac orthodox church has clearly its roots in the aramean nation and can prove an aramean ethnic identity by its chronicles which goes hundreds of years back even before the th century whereas the assyrian church of the east can't prove its assyrian identity before the th century btw we are actually known as s ryaniler in turkish and as syrianin in arabic both words mean syrians but refer to the aramaic speaking christians in arabic you have two words for syrian but with different meanings moreover the bible clearly distinguish between syrians arameans and assyrians syrian is the greek word for aramean and this word was adopted by the arameans in their mother tongue and they have called themselves suryoye since then i don't care about what other people call us most germans call oriental looking persons turks and every black person is just an african what matters is what we call ourselves we have always called ourselves suryoye syrians and our origin is aramaic not pseudo assyrian the people we greek call syrians they call themselves arameans posidonius
