23/7/13

Tartous, (SANA) – Patriarch John X Yazigi of Antioch and All the East for Greek Orthodox Church stressed that “Our belief in the civilization, heritage and history of our homeland will confront the current crisis for Syria to become as proud as it has ever been.”

During a reception held for the displaced families at the Lady Church in Tartous, Patriarch Yazigi said, “The Syrian people have always been as one family and they have to remain like that under these extraordinary circumstances to help one another in bad and good times.”

The patriarch listened to the displaced families about their suffering because of the terror of the armed terrorist groups which have wreaked havoc in the country forcing the locals to leave their homes and jobs.

The families considered the patriarch’s visit as psychological support to boost morale in these hard times and a message of amity, peace and patience.
