Bethnahrain National Council: The first official meeting of Syriac Patriarchs is a historic step

BETH NAHRIN — Following the Syriac Patriarchs’ meeting held on 16^th December, 2022, the Bethnahrain National Council (Mawtbo Umthoyo D’Bethnahrin, MUB) issued a statement.

The MUB declared that the meeting is a historic step, amid the Middle East’s critical circumstances, including displacement and obliteration of the true and civilized identities of the indigenous peoples.

The MUB statement considered that the meeting contributes to strengthening the free Christian presence in its historical land in the East, as well as consolidating the Syriac language and culture and preserving it in diaspora and the homeland.

The MUB commended such tremendous efforts, calling on all parties, institutions, churches and countries to encourage and support this historic step.
