Most of Dawronoye 's activities in Europe centred around the Assyrian genocide , commonly known between Assyrians as " Seyfo " , which Turkey refuses to recognize to this present day . Activism for genocide recognition would include street protests , hunger strikes , and building occupations . A notable event included the day 100 members of Dawronoye forced entry and occupied a government building in Lausanne , Switzerland where the Treaty of Lausanne was signed . The purpose of the occupation was to attract the attention of the media and Swiss government on the denial of Assyrian rights in Turkey due to the Treaty of Lausanne , the continued oppression on the Assyrian people in Turkey , and to call for international recognition of the Assyrian genocide . On 15 August 2012 , members of the Dawronoye-affiliated Syriac Union Party stormed the Syrian embassy in Stockholm in protest of the Syrian government . A dozen of its members were later detained by Swedish police . A number of delegates representing several Assyrian cultural-political organizations in Europe attended a congress held in Brussels between the 14th and 15th of May 2004 , to form an alliance that could represent Assyrians in Europe with governmental bodies such as the European Union and European Council . This alliance came to be known as the European Syriac Union with an associated youth group called the ESU Youth . In 2004 , a satellite television channel , Suroyo TV , was formed by Dawronoye-affiliated members and broadcast from Södertälje in the Western Syriac and Eastern Syriac dialects
