Cry of Anguish from the President of the Greek Community of Damascus

The President of the Greek Community of Damascus, Habib Saloum, expressed concerns over the ongoing hostilities and their impact on the Greek population in the city. Despite the tensions, about 400 Greeks, who are third and fourth generation, are determined to stay in Syria. However, the Alawite community may be forced to relocate to safer regions. The long-standing Greek presence in the Levant continues to be a significant aspect of the local heritage.
