The Syrians were the Mitanni, also known as Aram-Naharin by the Egyptians. So today, the Aramean tribes are descendants of Alamhu nomads and Hurrian Mitanni nationals.

Phrygians were a dynasty of the Hittie, similar to the Assyrian Mushki. It must be noted that the term Hittite is a modern construct and did not exist by name in the ancient times. There was a land of Hatti of course, but the people who inhabited the lands were known by different names, most promiment were the Nesites.
 
In a similar manner the first Indo-Iranians can be traced to the Parsuhanda of Hittite records in lower Anatolia. These were of tribesmen who merged with the Hurrian/Urartian and Mannean people.

Assyrian Mushki were probaly the same Moschians who have been mentioned by Greek historians like Herodotus and Strabo, according to Greek sources, they lived in a region in the northwest of Iran and the Caucasus, Herodotus says that the lands of Moschians, Amardians (a tribe living along the southern shore of the Caspian Sea) and some other tribes in this region, formed the nineteenth satrapy of Achaemenid Persian empire, it is possible that they were the same Meshkin peoples who lived in Meshkin Shahr (City of Meshkins) in this region from the ancient times. More Info about Meshkin Shahr: http://www.world66.com/asia/middleeast/iran/meshkinshahr
 
Strabo mentions a famous temple (temple of Leucothea) in the land of Moschians, it could be the same ancient temple with over 500 stone steles which has been found near Meshkin Shahr:  http://www.cais-soas.com/News/2005/July2005/19-10.htm

'Classical' history derived from Herodotus and others like him is severely garbled, there is reduplication, omission, geographic and chronological inconsistencies, and greek storytelling artifacts. So much so, that reading it and accepting even a fair amount of turn history on its head.

Luckily archeology has advanced so much, that now things are finally making sense. The "lost" civilizations or people are finaly found.
 
Phrygians were western extension of the Urartian Empire, often the Armenians were Urartians. The Elymeans were Arabs, and the Susians were Elamites.
