Damascus - Sana
The details of the Damascus International Fair were not lost on the memory of Samir Muhsin, and he did not miss once to keep up with its 61 sessions, where he accompanied his father as a child and today accompanied his children and grandchildren to the annual event that awaits him from year to year.
The old lines of the 75-year-old uncle Samir are curious to know why he visited this vast and manifold place, which was quicker to clarify without hesitation in front of SANA's camera, talking about his 61st visits to Damascus International Fair.
Uncle Samir recalls the beginnings of the Damascus International Fair in the old city of exhibitions “The first session of the Damascus International Fair I was ten years old and I used to visit him with my father annually to attend artistic concerts and accompanying commercial events since that time and I have not missed any of it "Despite the occasional faltering circumstances, I was more determined to visit him."
The concerts of the Damascus International Fair printed an intimate image of Uncle Samir reminiscent of joy and nostalgia. The theater of the exhibition and most of them were sung by Sham, which is called shamiyat.
Memories quickly jumped to the memory of Uncle Samir when asked about the most event stuck in his imagination from the beginning of the exhibition to speak eagerly about those days “It was a delight that people were surprised by this phenomenon and the most important event the first black and white television show, and then attracted a large number of people to watch and lottery exhibition Damascus International, which I used to draw from. ”
In spite of the long distance and Uncle Samir's stay in Aleppo because he joined the ranks of the Syrian Arab Army, his insistence on attending the exhibition, which lasted for a whole month, paid him to come to Damascus to attend even for one day “I was taking a day off to travel to Damascus and attend the exhibition. Some times I left my wife and my children there and came on my own. ”
Uncle Samir concludes by emphasizing the importance of the Damascus International Fair as the oldest and most distinguished exhibitions with a history of ongoing activities and various pavilions from different countries.
Samia Muhsin, the wife of Uncle Samir, 65, tells the story of her visit to some sessions of the Damascus International Fair with her husband.``Since our marriage, we have been visiting the exhibition together and taking me to the exhibition to attend the concerts where my husband would prefer to hear Fayrouz on the stage of the exhibition.
