‘Syria without war’ exhibition opens in Moscow

Under the title “Syria without war”, an art exhibition was opened Friday in the historic cultural heritage institute in Moscow.

The exhibition included paintings drawn by the Russian artist Georgi Karamorza with oil and water colors depicting the Syrian nature and civilization.

The artist painted mosques and churches of Damascus as well as Syrian towns and cities, such as Sidnaya and Maaloula, hidden behind Jasmine and Lailac blossoms.

He wanted to show through his paintings the wonderful nature of Syria, according to the brochure distributed in the exhibition.

“Russia and Syria have the same historic and humanitarian heritage. There are historic sites for the eastern Christians in Syria,” the Institute’s Director Arsini Meronov said, pointing out that the Russian researchers’ favorite site is Simon citadel [Qalat Samaan], which lies about 30km west of Aleppo city north of Syria.

He asserted that the institute of historic cultural heritage in Moscow is interested in Syria’s history and artefacts.

“The Russian citizens are sharing the Syrian people’s suffering,” Meronov concluded.

Since 2011, Syria faces terror war targeting its army, people, civilization and infrastructures.
