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.
