Head of the National Union of Syrian Students, Darine Suleiman, said in a speech during the opening of the forum that this event is an opportunity to demand breaking the embargo and an end the unilateral coercive measures imposed on Syria, which affected the country’s capabilities in dealing with the repercussions of the earthquake disaster.
She added that time has come to unify our efforts to break the siege because what is happening in Syria is a crime against humanity , indicating that the supplies of Arab countries for relief to those affected by the earthquake in Syria constituted an honorable image of standing by the Syrian people.

Abdul Hamid stressed that Syria was subjected to a global war, but it remained steadfast because its people and throughout history did not and will not yield to all foreign conspiracies, its army made many sacrifices, and its wise leadership knows the volume of these conspiracies and how to confront them.
