- ^ Atto 2011b, p. 198: "Among the Syrianska elite, especially those individuals who are personally active in the Syrianska secular organizations tend to perceive the president of SUA (Syriac Universal Alliance) as the person in charge of the 'amo Suryoyo. Consequently, on the local level they identify with Syrianska organizations which are connected to SUA."
