The exhibition was also held by the Russian Cultural Center. It included dozens of photography works with different topics. The works depicted the victories of the Syrian Army in the battles against terrorist groups, the destruction inflicted, because of terrorism, upon archeological buildings, churches and mosques and the various aspects of social life in Syria.

Director of the Russian Cultural Center in Damascus Nikolay Sukhov said in a statement to SANA that these photographs show the victories of the Syrian Arab Army in Aleppo, Palmyra, Yarmouk Camp, Qalamoun and other areas and feature the state of security that prevailed in the country after these victories. The aim is to document this important experience which Syria has passed through and to highlight Syria’s role in fighting terrorism, he added.

Director of Damascus Culture Waseem Mbeyyed affirmed the importance of cultural exchange between Syria and Russia, particularly in the field of resisting and confronting terrorism.
