On the occasion of Easter, and from the heart of Maaloula town in Damascus countryside, President Bashar al-Assad wished a blessed Easter for all Syrians and the restoration of peace, security and amity to all Syria.
During his visit to Maaloula town, President al-Assad inspected the Monastery of Saints Sergius and Bacchus and checked the damage and destruction caused to the monastery by the terrorists.
After passing the Eastern Entrance and as he was inspecting Mar Thecla Monastery, President al-Assad said, "No one, no matter their terrorism, can erase our human and cultural history."
"Maaloula will remain, along with other Syrian human and cultural landmarks, steadfast in the face of the obscurantism and barbarianism of all those who are targeting the homeland," he added.
Passing through Ein al-Tineh village on his way back from Maaloula, President al-Assad applauded the village residents who gathered around him for their stand in defending their village and neighboring areas.
President al-Assad labeled the villagers’ stand as an “honorable” one that represents a miniature of the Syrian society as a whole and the bright civilization of its people.
