Assyrians in Finland began arriving noticeably for the first time in 1991. Currently there are 300 Assyrians in Finland. The majority of them living in Oulu while other smaller communities are seen in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, and as well in Turku and Jyväskylä. They are mostly refugees from Iraq and Iran; this is contrasted to the Assyrian population in neighboring Sweden, where the majority are from Turkey, Iraq, and Syria. Some Assyrians have opened Pizza restaurants with names such as Nohadra and Nineveh, referring to Assyrian cities in their homeland.
