Melkite Catholic Patriarch of Antioch, Gregorius III Lahham, deemed Friday during his visit to the town of Ein Tirma in the Eastern Ghouta of Damascus that “the Syrian Army’s civilized and exemplary approach in the Eastern Ghouta is a model for dealing with crises and wars and protecting the lives of civilians.”

“The Syrian solidarity with the people of the Ghouta during the suffering of terrorism that threatened their lives has proved that the Syrian people are one, and that Syria is the country of peace,” the Patriarch added.

He thanked the “Syrian Army for being a model of victory, kindness and love,” while expressing hope for the “liberation of every inch of Syrian territory from terrorism and the return of security and stability to Syria.”
