The Syrian Future Movement and Holidays
Every nation has its customs, traditions, and culture deeply rooted in history, and the more diverse they are, the more they enrich the country and society, provided there is reconciliation among all components of the people. The Syrian people, diverse in their religions, sects, ethnicities, and customs, must recognize each other well to participate in these joys and holidays throughout the year, as a form of shared living (with love and dignity), not just coexistence, which requires (a thousand requests) indicating the effort involved!
