Description

"If someone asks about eliminating the confusion resulting from the English use of the 'Syrian' name in the USA because it is translated in French 'Syrien' and in English 'Syrian' for both country and religion, so that no one could distinguish between the different kinds of the religious rites. And if we add the word 'Orthodox' to the 'Syrian' name, there will be association with Greek Orthodox, who in the recent years, named themselves 'Syrians' as coming from Syria. There is no way to change the accepted French or English use of this word. However, the present ambiguity would disappear if we add 'Aramaic' to the Syriac language, and 'Aramean' to the Syrian Church."
