Overview
Assyria TV is an independent, web-based television channel founded on 24 September 2011 and registered in Sweden. It belongs to the Assyrian Media Institute (AMI), which was established on the same date in Södertälje, Sweden. The channel describes itself as autonomous and independent from Assyrian organisations and institutions, a stance it says is necessary to fulfil one of its most important tasks: to examine organisations and individuals that influence decisions affecting Assyrians. Its stated objective is to broadcast information and knowledge, to audit, and to generate debate. The channel serves the Semitic Christian ethnic group of Assyrians, also known as Arameans or Chaldeans, who refer to themselves as Suryoye, Suroye or Suraye. Programming is mainly in Syriac-Aramaic, spoken in the western dialect Surayt (also known as Turoyo) and the eastern dialect Suret (also known as Swadaya). Some programmes are also produced in Arabic, Turkish, German, English and Swedish. Assyria TV can be received through various social media platforms, and there is loose cooperation with the satellite-received Assyrian channel ANB Sat. Most programmes are produced in Södertälje, Sweden, but the channel also regularly broadcasts formats from European cities with large populations of Assyrian background, including Augsburg, Wiesbaden, Gütersloh, Gronau, Gothenburg, Paris (mainly Sarcelles), Enschede, Brussels and Vienna. Since 2019 Assyria TV has been registered with the Swedish Press and Broadcasting Authority (MPRT). The organisation is led by a board and management team. Athurrinna Isik Goria serves as chairperson (Ordförande), Aziz Poli as vice chairperson, Josef Cacan as treasurer and authorised signatory, with board members Augin Kurt and Yusuf Aldemir. Dikran Ego is the managing director (Verkställande direktör) and special authorised signatory, and also serves as editor. The channel's output includes news bulletins, interviews, cultural and village reports, and political discussion programmes, with a strong focus on Assyrian community affairs in Sweden and across the diaspora.
