“I do hope that the Russian Orthodox Church, with reliance on its authority in the world, will be able to promote concerted action by the international community for the sake of Syria’s revival, for providing humanitarian assistance to its citizens and for restoring its ruined cultural and spiritual centers,” Putin said.
What a breath of fresh air. In a world that allowed Syria a very secular country to be destroyed by us western geopolitics for individual gains, we terrorized a country based on so called the same standards as we based our countries on…. and or use to base our countries on…
Secular, which ensures equality for members of other religions…
Christians were slaughtered left and right in Syria….by the ISIS….they also had to run like hell….from the hell that was after them…
Since the Syrian civil war started, Christians in Syria have come under increasing threat, especially from ISIS. There are thought to be nearly 800,000 + (????) Christian refuges displaced by the fighting in Syria. Persecution of Christians, per Open Doors UK, an organization that monitors persecution of Christians is saying that Syria has become one of the leading countries since the ISIS was promoted to power by the west, in killing Christians…. Head chopping off among such terror…
What had reached #4 as the most deadly country for Christians is now already back to #6 and getting better all the time. This is since Russia has helped to stop the needless death caused by western interference…
What is wrong people in the western world, do you want Syria a secular country to become non-secular…
Hmm…
I hope the Orthodox can dig in and help in Syria… Russia a country where Christian values are still promoted. No, forget the Soviet Union and the past. This is Russia now….and what counts now…
