Moscow, (ST) - The Syrian Ambassador in Moscow, Dr. Riad Haddad, stressed  the positive role of Syrian expatriates in rebuilding and reconstructing their country. He indicated that distances do not deter those Syrians from assuming their responsibilities towards their homeland, a fact that they have proven throughout the years of war in Syria.

This came during the Ambassador’s meeting with the Syrian community at the embassy’s headquarters in Moscow. He added that Syria is engaged in the battle of reconstruction, which requires a more important and effective role from  Syrians living  abroad who are determined to contribute to rebuilding the country, each from his workplace and according to his capabilities.

 The Ambassador condemned the destructive effects of the American and Turkish policies, both with regard to the occupation of parts of the Syrian lands and the theft of its natural resources, and the unilateral coercive measures imposed on the Syrian people.
