On several occasions, SAM cooperated with other political parties, mainly on issues related to protection of ethnic and religious rights of minority groups in Iraq.

[1][2][3] In a statement that was publicly posted on their Facebook page in 2024, the party mentioned the date of their founding as January 15, 2004 by Isho Majid Hadaya.

[4] Hadaya was born in 1954, and in the wake of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, had aspired to create a political party that represented Syriac Orthodox and Catholic components of the Assyrian community, under the Syriac-Aramean label.

[7] In 2012, the party received a visit by MP Luis Caro Bandar, who was a member of the Chaldean Syriac Assyrian Popular Council.

[9] In 2017, SAM joined other Christian/Assyrian parties in formulating a comprehensive political platform on the creation of a new governorate in the region of the Nineveh Plains.

[20] Joseph had noted that the party held no seats in parliament, yet had won the 2009 Nineveh governorate elections by corruption, and that Momika was affiliated with the controversial Dawronoye movement.

[20] He also linked a Facebook page that contained pictures of Momika taking part in party activities, as well as him holding the Aramean-Syriac flag.

[21] His previous activities in Assyrian politics, including SAM and the Kataib Rouh Allah Issa Ibn Miriam militia, were also linked to Rayan al-Kildani and the Babylon Movement.

The Syriac Assembly Movement is largely considered inactive in the scope of modern Assyrian politics in Iraq.
