The Aramean flag, or Syriac-Aramean flag, is the ethnic flag designated for the Arameans, adopted in 1980 by the Aramean journal Bahro Suryoyo (Aramean light) of the Syriac federation in Sweden (Swedish: Syrianska Riksförbundet).[1] Intended to represent their nation and homeland as well as the Assyrian diaspora,[2] the flag was design based on the Winged Sun symbol, replacing the sun by a torch symbolising the Holy Spirit in Christianity.
