Aleppo: Mrs. Asma al-Assad participates in the closing session of the workshop for developing straight street markets

Aleppo (ST): Mrs. Asma al-Assad participated  the people of Aleppo in the closing session of the workshop (Developing the Strategy of Straight Street Markets) at Seif al-Dawla al-Hamdani School in the old city of Aleppo, which is being held by the Syrian Trust for Development in partnership with the local community in Aleppo and a number of governmental and non-governmental agencies.

This strategy aims to revive 26 markets within the straight street axis and its main entrances, with a total of 1252 stores.

During the workshop, they discussed the challenges and opportunities in terms of restoration and rehabilitation works in the old city markets and presented the suggestions of the participants in the workshop.

Ms. Asmaa considered that the destruction of the antiquities of Aleppo and its cultural and civilizational monuments was a systematic attempt to destroy everything that expresses the history, civilization and social fabric of the Syrian man because the main goal of the war was to target the Syrian identity.

Mrs. Asmaa addressed the people of Aleppo by saying: You have embodied the most important forms of patriotism, which is, firstly, your adherence to your city despite the danger and harsh living conditions, and secondly, that you have started to work for your city and country under very difficult conditions. Therefore, the success of Aleppo is evidence of the country’s strength, the victory of society and the will over destruction and devastation. The revival of this city concerns us all, as Syrians, and it concerns every zeal and lover of Aleppo and the country.
