Syriac Universal Alliance's Recommendations adopted by Council of Europe (Resolution 1704). Pt. 2.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted Resolution 1704 on Wednesday 27 January that calls upon Turkey to seriously address the issue of minority rights.

The Syriac Universal Alliance (SUA), which represents the Aramean (Syriac) people as an international NGO at the United Nations, engaged extensively with parliamentarians and parliamentary advisors.

These efforts resulted in the SUAs three recommendations being accepted by the Council of Europe.

The Arameans (Syriac-Orthodox church) were not recognized as a religious nor ethnic minority and were not able to enjoy the rights granted by the Lausanne Treaty, which was signed in 1923 and served as the founding agreement for the Turkish Republic. The treaty organizes the rights of the non-Muslim citizens of Turkey -- without indicating specific group names -- but, practically, these rights are applied only to the Jewish, Greek and Armenian minorities of Turkey. PROUD ARAMEANS!!
