Thank you for sharing such great history. I got to know about the Armenian Genocide throguh many chats that I had with a lovely Armenian lady (May she rest in peace) and she told me about her trip as a child with her family escaping from the barbaric Turks and they ended in Cairo and then in the 1980's the whole family moved to the US. We should never forget or forgive the Turks and Turkey for such crime

Now If you know Arabic then Syriac is very easy to learn. There is no doubt in my mind that the origin of Arabic alphabet must be from Syriac just check let us say the letters lam, meem, noon, seen, heh, sheen and take some time and listen to let us say the Lord's Prayers in both Arabic and Syriac on youtube and you will be able to understand the Syriac version.

Take care
