The seventh cultural Festival “Golan in our eyes”kicked off in Sweida

The Seventh Cultural Festival “Golan in Our Eyes” kicked off at the Arab Cultural Center in al- Sweida. The festival is held by the” Abna’a al- Golan” association. The activities of the first day include the screening of a documentary film entitled “The story of steadfastness”. It embodies the steadfastness of our people in the occupied Golan and their attachment to their land, identity and national belonging. The activities also include opening of exhibitions of handicrafts and embroideries of folklore and the local heritage of Sweida.

Chairman of the Board of “Abna’a al-Golan” association, lawyer Hossam Al Aflak explained in a statement to SANA that the festival is a tribute to the steadfastness of our people in Golan in the face of the Zionist occupation. All our people in the occupied Golan declare their rejection of the arbitrary practices of the Zionist occupation aimed at removing them from their homeland Syria.

They also reject the occupation’s attempts of   normalization. We are confident that the occupation will be defeated, as the terrorist organizations were defeated from all Syrian territories, thanks to the sacrifices of the Syrian Arab Army.

The festival, which lasts until the end of the week, will also include a classical concert, a children’s play entitled “Karkaba”, a film screening “Abu Saber” and a poetry evening by a number of poets.
