He pointed out that the European people have realized the danger of terrorism particularly after the terrorist attacks which targeted several European countries.
Leader of the Belgian delegation, went on to say that the delegation’s visit to Aleppo aims at getting acquainted with what is really happening in Syria away from the false news reported by some western media and at conveying a real image about Syria events to the Belgian people and the European public opinion in general.

He said that the terrorist war has targeted the infrastructure, services utilities, public and private properties and the old city of Aleppo which is considered as a unique human cultural heritage.

He highlighted the government’s efforts to reconstruct what terrorism has destroyed and to meet the needs of the citizens affected by terrorism.
He urged the guest delegation to convey the reality of events in Syria to their governments and people and to clarify to them that what is going on in the country is a terrorist war being waged on the Syrian state and people.
