They have been banned from using their languages in schools and media, and from exercising their religious rights to the full extent. They have also suffered most from the violence in southeast Turkey between state security forces and Kurdish secessionist groups. Due to this conflict, many Syriacs moved to Istanbul or abroad. Since some returned, they struggle to reacquire their properties. Other remaining demands include recognition of legal status for historical and religious sites, return of properties belonging to churches and monasteries, recognition of Syriac clergymen, opening of Syriac schools, and acceptance of the usage of Syriac names.
