They used to say: They said in the old days: “The neighbor is before the house” and “God recommended the seventh neighbor.” These are expressions that we have memorized and repeated by heart and we have worked with them to preserve neighborliness and good neighborliness. This logic applies in politics as well. If we go back in memory to centuries of time, we find that Syria applies This concept in its broadest sens


They said in the old days: “The neighbor is before the house” and “God recommended the seventh neighbor.” These are expressions that we have memorized and repeated by heart and we have worked with them to preserve neighborliness and good neighborliness. This logic applies in politics as well. If we go back in memory to centuries of time, we find that Syria applies This concept in its broadest sense.

A century ago, the Ottomans were burning and slaughtering the Armenians and chasing them in the deserts, and there was no refuge for them except the gates of Damascus, which opened its arms to the north and embraced those who arrived anxious and terrified among its sons and became a citizen who had the rights of the Syrians they do not have.

In 1948, with the catastrophe of our Palestinian people at the hands of the Zionist occupier, Syria opened its arms, and Damascus welcomed the brothers through its seven gates, and there was no difference between them and the Syrians in rights and duties until the return to Palestine, long or short.

The tragedy of the fraternal neighbors was repeated with the Israeli aggression in 2006 against Lebanon and with the American occupation of Iraq in 2003, and the seven gates of Damascus were opened wide to help the neighbors and extend a helping hand.

Over the past ten years, Syria has been subjected to a terrorist war in which the distant enemy and some neighbors and brothers participated, and Syria's wounds are still bleeding as a result of the war, whether with weapons or the economy, and some neighbors are still thrusting daggers into the Syrian body, disguising all the concepts of good neighborliness, but Damascus proves every time It's the neighbor and near brother.

Lebanon, which is subjected to an economic crisis that some Western countries have provoked to strike the Syrian flank, has aggravated its problems and almost exploded, and it lacks electricity, oil and gas. It came to seek refuge in Syria, which was besieged and prevented from energy carriers by occupation and siege, so it extended its hand and welcomed and opened its seven doors to the brotherly neighbor.

The Egyptian gas will reach Lebanon through the arteries of Syria, as will the Jordanian electricity, and the barriers, circumstances and transitory crises that were created by some of those who are contingent on countries and peoples, who are in the presence of the White House and the Champs-Elysées, will not stop.

Damascus, which supplied Lebanon with oxygen by decision of President al-Assad, is the Damascus that receives today the men of Lebanon who believe in the eternal relationship between brothers, and it is Damascus that embraced the resistance and protected it, and its seven doors will remain open for good and love. and insidious.
