In a statement to the media, the governor of Damascus countryside, Moataz Abu Al-Nasr Jamran, confirmed that this festival, which comes before the Eid Al-Fitr, is to support  the people of the eastern Ghouta region in terms of securing many basic living necessities for them by displaying them in one place, which saves them the trouble of buying them from several places. It also constitutes, through the great turnout witnessed on the first day, a message that Syria and its life-loving people are capable of production and giving, and are stronger than the unjust economic siege imposed on them.

In turn, the head of the Damascus Countryside Chamber of Commerce, Osama Mustafa, explained that the setting and control of prices were supervised, and that the festival was an opportunity to display and market national products and sell them to the citizen at prices lower than the local market.
