Suryoyo Sat (Syriac: ܣܘܪܝܝܐ ܣܬ) is a Syriac language TV-Channel broadcasting from Södertälje, Sweden. Reaching and sending to more than 80 countries, the channel wants to unite the people under the Syriac name.[1][2] Suryoyo Sat's programming is mainly conducted in Turoyo Neo-Aramaic and to a lesser extent in English and Arabic.
Manipulation scandal
In April 2013, the Södertälje-based daily newspaper Länstidningen (LT) accused Suryoyo SAT of manipulation of a photo taken during Abdullah Güls, then President of Turkey, visit in Sweden.[3] In the picture, where Gül poses with a Syriac Orthodox archbishop and a number of representatives from the Assyrian and Syriac-Aramaic federations in Sweden, Suryoyo SAT replaced one of the Assyrian representatives with a Syriac-Aramaic one. Two days later, Suryoyo SAT apologized for the incident, saying that the involved persons had been warned.[4]
