The reward was innovated by Head of the Culture Diplomatic Institute in Berlin and the former Culture Minister of Italy Francesco Rutelli .
“Awarding this prize to Syria by the European authorities and the EU is a recognition of the efforts exerted by Syria to protect the Syrian heritage which is dedicated for all humanity,” Abdul-Kareem told SANA.
