The Assyrians in Finland comprises migrants of Assyrian ancestry and their descendants born in Finland.

Demographics

In 2001, there were only 115 Assyrians in Finland.[2] Within six years, the number tripled.[3]

The majority of them living in Oulu,[1] while other smaller communities are seen in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, and as well in Turku and Jyväskylä.[4] They are mostly refugees from Iraq and Iran;[6] this is in contrast to the Assyrian population in neighboring Sweden, where the majority are from Turkey, Iraq, and Syria.

The population is split religiously between Church of the East and Chaldean Catholic members. Chaldean Catholics attend a Catholic church in Oulu where the services are conducted by Italian priests in the Finnish language.[4] Church of the East members attend their services in Lutheran churches.[6]

History

Assyrians in Finland began arriving noticeably for the first time in 1991.[5]

In April 1994, the community in Oulu founded the social club "Assyrian Society of Finland", recognized by the Finnish government. The club organizes trips, picnics, and Assyrian cultural events, and holds bi-annual elections. Mr Paulus is the current president of the club.[5]

  • All are required to attend language classes which lasts from three to six months.[5]
