 Music in Syria is connected to the fabric of the place more than any other place, as Syria is famous for its rich musical heritage  and over thousands of years it has passed through religions  which  have contributed to the diversity of its music.

The Syrian musician Issa Fayyad devoted his   artistic career during  nearly half a century inside his homeland and abroad  to highlight Syrian heritage  and present Syrian identity in Western forums.

On January 10th, the branch of the National Union of Syrian Students in Hungary affirmed that the unilateral coercive economic measures and the unjust blockade imposed by Western countries on Syria must be lifted immediately.

 In a message sent by the students of the Union branch to the representative of the European Union in Hungary, the branch said that these measures imposed under flimsy pretexts to achieve the plans of the Western countries affect all aspects of the Syrian people's lives.

The students stressed the need to expedite the lifting of unjust and coercive economic measures, restore diplomatic relations with Syria and contribute to its reconstruction.
