VIENNA — Suroyo TV recently organized a seminar discussing a German-language book on the history of the Syriac (Aramean–Assyrian–Chaldean) people. The event took place in the Hall of Mor Aphrem Church in Vienna, Austria.

Representatives from three churches were invited to participate in the seminar, including Mor Butros and Bulos (Peter and Paul) Church, Mor Aphrem Church, and Mary Virgin Church, as well as the local church councils.

The seminar was moderated by Yacoub Mirza, a member of the Media Committee of the Bethnahrain National Council (Mawtbo Umthoyo D’Bethnahrin, MUB), and Ishtar Gabriel, an MUB official in Europe. They discussed the significance of the book and its contents.

Originally written in Turkish and Arabic, the book has recently been translated into German and is scheduled for publication in English.
