Syriac Union Party (Lebanon)
Political party in Lebanon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Syriac Union Party (Syriac: ܓܒܐ ܕܚܘܝܕܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܐ ܒܠܒܢܢ, Arabic: حزب الاتحاد السرياني) abbreviated as SUL is a Lebanese Assyrian[1][2][3] political party established on 29 March 2005. It expresses points of view of the Assyrian minority community in Lebanon without any confessional differences between Syriac Orthodox or Syriac Catholic and is vocal in asking for independent seats for the Assyrians in the Lebanese Parliament, rather than confining them to the "minorities seat" in Beirut as is now the case.[4]
