Assyrian/Syriacs in Sweden mainly came from Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran that largely corresponds with the Assyrian homeland, including parts of what is now primarily northern Iraq, northeastern Syria, northwestern Iran, and southeastern Turkey.〔(Reforging a Forgotten History: Iraq and the Assyrians in the Twentieth Century By Sargon Donabed )〕 Also, some of the first Assyrians came from other Western Asian countries outside of the Assyrian homeland like Lebanon, Jordan, Cyprus, and Armenia. Those who had already lived in Sweden for a longer period were finally granted residence permit for humanitarian reasons.〔(Swedish Minister for Development Co-operation, Migration and Asylum Policy, Migration 2002, June 2002 )〕 Most Assyrians arrived in Sweden due to ethnic and religious conflicts, leaving Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The migration to Sweden may be broken up into a number of distinct periods: early settlement and the subsequent waves of migration sparked by the Assyrian genocide in present day Turkey, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and, more recently, during the 2000s, an unprecedented immigration wave from Iraq and Syria reached Sweden as a result of the Iraq Wars (Gulf War in 1991, Iraq War in 2003, Iraqi Civil War in 2014–present) and the Syrian Civil War in 2011–present. There is an ideological division of this group in Sweden between〔Dan Lundberg, ''Christians from the Middle East'' 〕 *Aramaenists, adherents of the Syriac Orthodox Church (West Syrian Rite) who insist on the name ''Syrianer'' and an "Aramaean" heritage for the group. *Assyrianists of various denominational backgrounds, who de-emphasize religious adherence in favour of pre-Christian antiquity, who insist on the name ''Assyrier'' and an Assyrian heritage for the group. To account for this division, official Swedish sources refer to the group as "Assyrier/Syrianer", with a slash (similar to the US census, which opted for "Assyrian/Chaldean/Syriac"). Södertälje, a municipality in Sweden, is often seen as the unofficial Assyrian/Syriac capital of Europe due to the city's high percentage of Assyrians/Syriacs. Sweden has also granted many rights for Assyrian/Syriacs including their own professional football (soccer) teams (Assyriska FF and Syrianska FC), and international TV-channels (Suryoyo Sat and Suroyo TV). ==Notable Swedish Assyrians/Syriacs== *Kennedy Bakircioglu *Abgar Barsom *Stefan Batan *Ibrahim Baylan *Fares Fares *Josef Fares *Andreas Haddad *Yilmaz Kerimo *Nuri Kino *Josef Özer *Gabriel Özkan *Ninsun Poli *Suleyman Sleyman *Sharbel Touma *Elias Zazi *Denho Acar *David Durmaz *Isa Demir *Stephan Yüceyatak *Aboud Zazi *Nisha Besara *Daniel Boyacioglu 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Assyrians/Syriacs in Sweden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
