Damascus, SANA-Armenian ambassador in Damascus Arshak Poladian granted Syrian writer and researcher Dr. Nabil Touma the Armenian embassy’s golden medal for his efforts in boosting bilateral Syrian-Armenian relations.
The ceremony took place at the Armenian embassy in Damascus on the 23rd anniversary of Armenia’s independence.
In a statement to SANA, ambassador Poladian said the honoring ceremony was an acknowledgement of Touma’s role in “enhancing bilateral relations between Syria and Armenia, mainly in the cultural sphere, as well as his publications that divulged attempts to exterminate the Armenian nation.”
“Despite all adverse conditions in his country, Dr. Touma insists to write, think and publish for the wellbeing of mankind,” he added.
Dr. Touma was born in Damascus. He holds a PhD in mechanics from Ukraine and a PhD in Humanities from Italy. He is the founder of economic and cultural periodicals and the author of numerous philosophical and poetical works.
Dr. Touma was a UNESCO peace prize laureate in 2007.
