Italian surgeon Fabio Abenavoli said in a statement at the conference that reports by western media outlets, particularly the Italian ones don’t reflect the reality of what is going on in Syria, namely the terrorism currently targeting all the Syrians.

He added that he visited Syria twice during which he felt the civilized nature of the Syrian people and knew about the suffering of the Syrians because of terrorism and the western economic sanctions imposed on the Syrian people and that affected all sectors in Syria, particularly health.

 Alberto Nijeri), an Italian journalist, told the conferees that what is going in Syria, like in other countries of the region, is part of the colonialist US policies which serve the Zionist scheme in the region, reiterating that Syria has strongly resisted these policies and managed to foil them.

Father Mtanious Haddad, from the Santa Maria in Cosmedin Church, said in his speech that Syria has been an example of amity, fraternity and peace, noting that targeting this country and displacing its people serve the colonialist Zionist schemes.

Eng. Mahmoud Srour, from the Syrian community in Italy, explained to the conferees the terrorist war that have been targeting the Syrian people, land, civilization and resources for more than six years, stressing that the steadfastness of the Syrian people and the heroism of the Syrian Arab army have resulted in major victories over terrorists and their supporters.
