On November 6, 2018, as a milestone in the new history of our Syriac Orthodox Church, His Holiness Patriarch Mor Ignatius Aphrem II inaugurated the Antioch Syrian University (ASU), in the presence of His Excellency Dr. Atef Al-Naddaf, Minister of Higher Education in Syria, in ASU in Maarat Saydnaya.

The inauguration was also attended by Dr. Rakan Razouk, President of ASU, the Administrative and Academic staff, university students, in addition to a number of their Excellencies Ministers and members of the Syrian Parliament, as well as representatives of the political, cultural, and social bodies in Syria.

(...)

His Holiness Patriarch Mor Ignatius Aphrem II, then, gave a speech in which he considered that “Syriacs had a head start in the establishment of schools and the educational facilities in the pre-Christian era. Each monastery became a center of knowledge, especially as it was our parents who developed the first alphabet. Thus, universities in many historical Syriac cities were established to spread knowledge, such as the universities of Nisibin, Edessa, Qinnshrin and Antioch”. He noted that “Antioch was the capital of Syria in the Roman era, but has become a spiritual capital for all the Christians of the Orient”; he added, “we follow the footsteps of our Church fathers in opening ASU, so that we raise again the flame of higher education.”

On November 13, 2018, His Holiness Mor Ignatius Aphrem II was awarded an honorary doctorate in Theology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece.

The president of the university and the Dean of the Faculty of Theology bestowed His Holiness the doctorate, in the presence of His Beatitude Ieronymos II, Archbishop of Athens and all Greece, their Eminences archbishops members of the accompanying delegation: Mor Selwanos Boutros Al-Nemeh, Archbishop of Homs, Hama, Tartous, and Environs, Mor Athanasius Touma Dakkama, Patriarchal Vicar in the United Kingdom, Mor Clemis Daniel Kourieh, Metropolitan of Beirut, and Very Rev.

The president of the university expressed his happiness to bestow to His Holiness the honorary doctorate, assuring on behalf of the academic staff and the university their respect to His Holiness for the hard effort and service he is doing to spread the word of God, as well as to let the voice of all persecuted Christians reach the whole world.

His Holiness thanked the president of Athens University as well as all the academic staff, considering that the doctorate is an honoring to all the Christians of the Middle East.

His Holiness then gave a speech entitled: “Christians in the Middle East: Is there a Future?” He spoke about the history of Christianity in the Middle East, and in Antioch where the disciples were first called Christians. 

(...)

His Holiness then described the Sayfo genocide which wiped out more than 2 million Christians: Armenians, Syriacs, and Greeks; he assured that “Most of the victims were killed because they refused to deny Christ”.

Then, His Holiness moved to talk about the new history, and the new genocides performed by groups of extremists and terrorists. He mentioned the suffering of the people of Mosul, who “suddenly found themselves in the streets of neighboring cities, jobless, homeless, and stripped of their rights to exist in the place where they were born”.
