Syriacs Community in Turkey as a Subject of International Law

A significant part of the Syriacs, one of the oldest societies in the Middle East, immigrated 
to other countries and lost most of their population in the region for various 
reasons. Although their homelands are Northern Iraq, Southeast Turkey and Northeast 
Syria, Syriac diasporas have emerged in many countries of the world, especially in Europe, 
due to migrations. Only the Armenian, Greek and Jewish communities were taken into 
account as “non-Muslim minorities” in the Treaty of Laussanne, and others could not benefit 
from the rights as a minority. In this sense, the minority status of other non-Muslim 
or non-Turks living in Turkey has not been accepted. In this article, the emergence of the 
Syriac society, the experienced divisions, it’s current characteristics and the situation of 
the Syriacs in Turkey are summarized. In the light of the scope of minority status in International 
Law, the situation of the Turkish Syriac community in this context is analyzed.
