Patriarch Aphrem II: The decision is the Syrian people’s, We reject any action against national unity

Hasaka, SANA – Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All East Mor Ignatius Aphrem II said the Syrian people are the ones who decide the fate and future of their country.

“The Syrian people are the decision maker. We refuse any external proposals or foreign interference, and any action that might affect the national unity and the components of the society is rejected,” said the Patriarch during a meeting with Governor of Hasaka Mohammad Zaal al-Ali at Mar Jacob Archbishopric in Qamishli.

The governor, in turn, expressed appreciation of the role of the Muslim and Christian clerics in facing the subversive and extremist thoughts and promoting national unity.
