(AINA) -- The Assyrian Federation of Sweden, an umbrella organization representing more that 30 Assyrian organizations, has launched an internet Assyrian TV-channel called Assyria-TV. The channel features on-demand video and viewer customizable program lists.

The Assyrian Media Institute, a joint venture between the Federation and its associations, is tasked with the operation and maintenance of the web based channel.

"We look forward to Assyria-TV becoming a voice for all Assyrians in the world," said Afram Yakoub, acting chairman of the Assyrian Federation, "and we will put in place mechanisms to guarantee Assyria-TV will be non-partisan, representing all Assyrians."
