“Aleppo will never allow terrorism and its supporters to do what they have done in historic Palmyra city. And lovers of human values will not allow the obscurantists of the 21st century to stop children’s smiles and to seize their dreams,” the ambassador added.

He referred to the steadfastness of Syrian people and army and strategic friends, who are standing by Syria in its fight against systematic international terrorism. 

Several Russian officials underlined the importance of the exhibition that shows the reality of events in Aleppo city, stressing that Russian people support Syrian people in confronting terrorism.
