Syriac Union Party in Syria (Syriac: ܓܒܐ ܕܚܘܝܕܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܐ ܒܣܘܪܝܐ, Arabic: حزب الإتحاد السرياني في سورية, SUP) is a secular Syriac political party in Syria that represents the interests of Syrian-Assyrians and their communities in Syria and is committed to the Dawronoye modernization ideology. Established on 1 October 2005, since the start of the Syrian Civil War it has positioned itself on the side of secular, democratic and federalist Kurdish forces in Rojava, sceptical of both the Ba'athist Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian National Coalition.
With the start of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, the Syriac Union Party aligned itself with the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), with which it shares a secular, pro-modernization and direct democracy based ideology. The Syriac Union Party later became part of the PYD-led Movement for a Democratic Society (TEV-DEM) coalition governing in the Federation of Northern Syria - Rojava. It has three deputies in the Syrian Democratic Council.
The Syriac Union Party has set up the Syriac Military Council militia as well as the Sutoro police force to protect Assyrian communities in their settlement areas in northeast Syria. Sutoro are integrated with the general Asayish police force of Jazira Canton of the Federation of Northern Syria - Rojava, however the Qamishli branch later broke away to align itself with the Assad government under the name of Sootoro. The Syriac Military Council has co-operated closely with the mainly Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) and later became part of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
