In Sweden, adherents of the Assyrian Church of the East uphold the Assyrian identity, but among adherents of the Syriac Orthodox Church, who emigrated mainly from the Turkey during the 1960s and 1970s, internal disputes arose over the question of ethnic identity. Those among them, who preferred the indigenous designation Suryoyo, came to be known as Syriacs, (in Swedish: Syrianer). Among Syriacs, Aramean identity is also advocated. In order to resolve the problem, Syriac Orthodox Church created two parallel jurisdictions in Sweden (1994), one for Syriacs/Arameans, and other for Assyrians. When referring to both communities, Swedish authorities use the double term "assyrier/syrianer".
