ArameansA Calling for Aramean Unity
"We request of our Syrian [Sūriyīn, i.e. Rum Orthodox] brothers of all denominations… to support our literary project… And we expect a greater support from our Maronite brothers who are of Aramaic heritage [al-muntasibīn ʾilā al- ʾĀrāmiyah], for the purpose of this newspaper is to unify the thoughts of the Arameans [banī Ārām]… There is no difference between an Aramean [ʾĀrāmī ] of Lebanon or Syria and an Aramean of Mesopotamia or Persia except for a few theological matters."
The first issue of Ḥuyodo (The Union), the newspaper succeeding Beth Nahrin in May 1921, expanded the desire for a unified, cross-denominational Aramean nation, as seen in an Arabic editorial.
