Beirut-Sana
The Syrian Catholic Patriarch of Antioch, Mar Ignatius Yusef III Jonah, renewed his call for the lifting of the unfair economic sanctions imposed on the Syrian people.
In the Easter message for the year 2021, Patriarch Yunan said that the decision-makers in the international arena and all those of good will should make efforts to lift the unjust sanctions imposed on the Syrian people, whose suffering intensifies day after day, describing the ten years of the terrorist war on Syria as a "terrible catastrophe."
Patriarch Yunan added, "We pray that the efforts exerted to end conflicts and rebuild Syria will bear fruit with the vigor, solidarity and unity of its people, so that they contribute together in restoring stability and prosperity to their homeland."
