The Council also asserted that Syria will emerge victorious and that Ayn al-Arab will continue to raise the Syrian flag
The event included artistic performances and a screening of a documentary on Ayn al-Arab. It was attended by representatives of licensed Syrian Kurdish parties and members of the diplomatic corps in Damascus.
