Organization World Council of Arameans Website johnymesso .com Johny Messo (b. February 7, 1978 in Hengelo) is an Aramean politician from the Netherlands. His parents are both from the city of Midyat in the region of Tur Abdin, in modern Turkey. Since 10 October 2009, he serves as the president of the Syriac Universal Alliance, an international organization that was founded in 1983, and later (2012) changed its name to the World Council of Arameans (Syriacs).
In 2007, he graduated at the Leiden University, receiving BA degree in the field of Hebrew and Aramaic languages and cultures. In 2011, within the cooperation between the Syriac Universal Alliance and the Council of Europe, he participated in organization of the newly established educational program, under the name: "1st Aramean Young Leadership Programme: The Road to the Future".
As president of SUA/WCA (since 2009), he supported the notion of Aramean continuity, and thus promoted Arameandom (Oromoyutho), primarily among those who self-identify as Arameans, but he also advocated some wider concepts. Under his leadership, SUA/WCA stated on several occasions that some other Aramaic-speaking communities of the Near East, such as modern Assyrians and modern Chaldeans, should also be considered as Arameans, thus advancing a pan-Aramean narrative, that provoked reactions from those communities.
His activities as the president of WCA continued in the following years. During 2015, Messo coordinated participation of Aramean organizations in manifestations commemorating centenary (1915-2015) of genocides committed by the Ottoman Empire against various Christian communities in the Near East.

In 2016, he was invited to join the academic Minerva Center for the Relations between Israel and Aram in Biblical Times, and also gave lecture at the first annual conference of the center. During the following years, he continued to participate in various activities that organization.
In 2018, Messo led WCA delegation that participated at the "Third International Conference on the victims of ethnic and religious violence in the Middle East", that was held on 14 May in Brussels.
